AUSTIN, Texas — A one-size-fits-all solution for food safety doesn't fit in the diverse agriculture fields of Texas.
Pamela RiemenschneiderGarrett Edwards (from left), and Dennis Holbrook of Mission-based SouthTex Organics talk with Texas Commissioner of Agriculture Todd Staples at the Texas Food Safety Conference April 23 in Austin.That's why organizers of the Texas Food Safety Conference 2013 want growers, shippers, importers, packers, distributors and retailers — anyone with a hand in fresh produce in Texas — to speak up as the Food and Drug Administration sets rules.
This is the second such conference the Mission-based Texas Vegetable Association has helped put together, the first being in 2011. The time was right to talk food safety, said Ray Prewett, TVA's executive vice president.
"We wanted to establish a working group to come up with comments for the FDA," Prewett said. "We know a lot of the action in terms of implementing (the federal Food Safety Modernization Act) is going to rest at the state level."
The conference opened with an introduction and question-and-answer session via phone with Tom Stenzel, president of the United Fresh Produce Association, Washington, D.C., and an overview of FSMA rules from the local FDA representative.
"We wanted to acquaint the produce industry with what's in these rules," Prewett said. "And now we'll go forward with establishing comments that address Texas-specific concerns."
Some of those concerns include mixed-use farms, where a producer may have cattle or cotton in addition to fresh produce, and there is some uncertainty about where their income threshold lies for the purpose of FSMA exemptions, said Mary Ellen Holliman, coordinator for the Texas Department of Agriculture's Organic Certification program.
Holliman and Julie Loera, food safety officer for the Texas Department of State Health Services, collected questions and comments to add to the state's official response for the FSMA comment period, recently expanded four months past the original May 16 deadline.
The educational component of the conference included discussions about water quality, Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point plans and how the proposed FSMA rules could apply to those subjects for the fresh produce industry.
Water is critical
Juan Anciso, associate professor and extension vegetable specialist for the Texas AgriLife Extension Service, talked about the differences in water quality issues relating to Texas and other major production regions. California leafy greens, he said, often are irrigated with deep well water, where Texas often is irrigated with surface sources.

A Northern California woman is dead after the California Highway Patrol says she lost control of her vehicle just north of San Miguel Thursday night.
Investigators say at about 8:00p.m. Thursday, the 19-year-old Cupertino woman was driving northbound on Highway 101 just north of San Miguel, when she lost control of her vehicle and spun out of control. The driver's side of the vehicle eventually slammed into a steel light pole, near the on ramp from N. Mission St. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Her 18-year-old female passenger is from Santa Clara. She was taken to Twin Cities Hospital with moderate injuries. Officers say she complained of abdominal pains.
Officers say the highway was slick from the recent rains, and that high speeds may have played a role in the crash.

Georgians for Pastured Poultry Strives to Raise Awareness for Benefits
of Pasture Raised Poultry at Local Restaurants and Farmers Markets
Georgians for Pastured Poultry (GPP), promoting the use of high-welfare, pasture raised poultry in Georgia, has created Pastured Poultry Week to take place Monday, June 11 through Sunday, June 17, 2012. As part of this annual event, Atlanta and Athens restaurants will help spread the word about the many virtues of pastured poultry – its superior taste, the natural life of the chickens, and the positive impact on both human health and the health of the environment – by serving it on their menus every day during this designated week. Additionally, chef demonstrations at local farmers markets throughout the spring and summer will educate consumers on ways to prepare pastured poultry in order to continue raising awareness.
Participating restaurants include:
- 4th & Swift
- Bistro Niko
- Ecco
- Farm 255
- Holeman & Finch Public House
- Holy Taco
- JCT. Kitchen & Bar
- Miller Union
- No. 246
- One Eared Stag
- Pura Vida
- Restaurant Eugene
- The National
- The Shed at Glenwood
- Woodfire Grill
- Rosebud
- Atlanta Botanical Gardens, Well-Seasoned Chef Series, June 12
- Morningside Farmers Market on Saturday, June 16 at 9:30 a.m.
- Heirloom Cafe and Fresh Market
- 5 Seasons Brewing
- Farm Burger (Decatur and Buckhead)
- Leons Full Service
- Branded Butcher
- Whole Foods Market on Saturday, June 17 all Georgia stores will be having a chefs demo on pastured poultry.
- Local Three
- Kitchen 1454
- Peachtree Road Farmers Market – Chef Zeb Stevenson of Livingston Bar to demo June 16 using Heritage Farms chicken
- Cakes and Ale
- Muss & Turner
- Decatur Farmers Market - Chef Billy Allin of Cakes and Ale to demo June 16 using Darby Farms chicken
Georgians for Pastured Poultry is made up of a multi-stakeholder group including Chef Shaun Doty of Bantam & Biddy restaurant (set to open this fall), Compassion in World Farming, Sierra Club, Georgia Organics, GreenLaw, White Oak Pastures, Darby Farms and others. The mission of this organization is to make Georgia the leader in the production and consumption of pastured poultry.
"One of our biggest challenges is that consumers today are unaware of how to use and make the most of a 'whole bird', which is generally how pastured poultry is sold," says Leah Garcés, USA Director of Compassion in World Farming, the lead founding member of GPP. "During Pastured Poultry week, our chef partners are helping us inspire consumers with their cooking techniques and recipes while also showing diners why factory farmed chicken is inferior not just in taste, but also in terms of human health, animal welfare, and the environment," she adds.
Shaun Doty will be participating in a farmers market demonstration featuring pastured poultry at Morningside Farmers Market on Saturday, June 16 at 9:30 a.m.
Doty, who will be opening a new local free range and pastured poultry restaurant in September, plans to ensure that his guests know where there chicken was raised and is highly involved in informing consumers, businesses and government about the true costs of factory farming of meat chickens and the need to support more humane and sustainable alternatives.
"My guests are more and more interested in where their food comes from, and as a chef, I am extremely passionate about food traceability," says Doty.
Will Harris, owner of White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, GA, is generously donating pastured chickens to chefs who will be making a pastured poultry dish during their upcoming farmers market cooking demonstrations.
"Industrial commodity livestock production lowers the costs of meat production systems by raising animals in such a way that does not allow them to express their instinctive behaviors," explains Harris, a fourth-generation stockman whose farm is the largest USDA Certified Organic farm in Georgia and whose abattoirs are certified humane by four unique animal welfare organizations. "It is unfortunate that nearly 100% of the poultry that is available to Georgians is raised in these low animal welfare systems. These industrial operations also produce enormous volumes of waste that can lead to food borne illnesses and environmental challenges. This is all the more reason that we need to promote humane and sustainable alternatives."

Fall is my favorite season, so this week, while I'm on vacation, I've asked some of my favorite bloggers to share the things they love about fall. Today Kate from Katelyn Brooke Blog + Design is sharing her fall faves!
TO WEAR // Vests. I live in my vests all fall. There's nothing better for going on walks!
TO EAT // Pumpkin roll! Confession- I've never actually had one of these, but anything with cream cheese frosting rolled into it has to be good! Last year I wanted to make one and never got around to it. It's happening this year!
TO DO // Drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Virginia is gorgeous in the fall, and we live a stone's throw from the Blue Ridge Parkway. We don't go very often, but I definitely want to make it up there this fall!

I have an ornamental hot pepper (turns purple to orange to red)plant that I bring indoors for the winter. I do this each year rather than starting new ones from seed each spring. I just grow it as a house plant. White flies are always a problem when bringing in plants but cinnamon on the soil surface takes care of them. They want to lay their eggs in organic matter and don't like cinnamon. |

Thanks for the tip!! I've never had a problem with White Flies but hear they are awful. I do see tiny gnats from time to time but I've been lucky so far.. I have 2 pepper plants, jalepeno and cayenne, and they've been indoors already for 2 months. I repotted them in brand new soil and clipped and cleaned the roots before bringing them in. It's my first year doing this overwintering.. |
I go in phases with bringing peppers in for the winter. At one time, I overwintered one for ( 3-4 ?) years before it bit the dust....( prob from neglect ). This year I went wild and brought in 10 or more plants. I never had a prob w/ aphids on peps before but this year I do. I have been dowsing them with alcohol spray to keep them in check....so far, it is working but I still see a few on CERTAIN plants. I have observed that my purple leaf peps dont get them . ( a fluke ? or do they dislike ? ) also, the aphids are a pink color.....sorry I have not been more specific with types or names for the peps, so far. Most of my peps were beautiful and strong this season...wish I could have said the same for toms..... ugh. ( live in Ohio, blight the past 2 years.....) Never had white fly prob.... the soil gnats I hang pcs of fly paper for.... but the yellow sticky traps get 75% more gnats ! |

Sorry - I didn't mean white flys - I meant those little knats. |
- Posted by cheezdoodle12 6 (My Page) on Fri, Dec 14, 12 at 19:10
Well, if cinnamon keeps those nasty gnats away, I'm going to sprinkle some now!!! Smells good too :) Have to look for the sticky traps too. I only have two pepper plants this year I'm keeping overwinter. Never did this before so figured what do I have to lose... I don't have the best growing arrangement in the summer due to limited space and not a lot of direct sun. I started them last February from seed and both plants produced ok, just didn't have the best weather working with me. They really want to bloom now though!! My jalapeno has buds and one flower on it now. I've already cut it back a few times but it comes right back so I'm looking forward to seeing what it does next summer. I'm also patiently waiting to start new seeds for a few other varieties ..but I guess I have to wait until mid February :( |

"I've made this recipe two years in a row for Thanksgiving. Both times I mashed the cooked potatoes in my kitchen aid mixer and combined all ingredients in there. As a result, my dough was extremely sticky and hard to manage. I added two extra cups of flour or something like that. I used yams, not sweet potatoes and I did not drain the ricotta. ""

New Mexico Governor Martinez Sacks Environmental Board, Fulfulls Campaign Promises
Newly elected New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez is making good on pre-election promises to eliminate job-killing environmental regulations whose costs outweigh their benefits.
Martinez announced on January 5 that she will block carbon dioxide restrictions imposed by the state Environmental Improvement Board (EIB), is replacing all EIB members, and will keep New Mexico from joining a regional cap-and-trade program.
On January 6 Martinez announced she is appointing Harrison "Jack" Schmitt as secretary of the state's Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department. Schmitt, who has a Ph.D. in geology from Harvard University and is a member of the Heartland Institute Board of Directors, is a former U.S. Senator and astronaut. Schmitt is the last person to step onto the moon.
The EIB, all of whose members were appointed by former Gov. Bill Richardson (D), conducted controversial global warming hearings in the summer and fall of 2010. State legislators and consumer advocates accused the EIB hearings as being little more than a kangaroo court run by environmental activists with a predetermined agenda to impose costly and restrictive carbon dioxide rules on the New Mexico economy. EIB was widely criticized for blocking the testimony of citizens and experts who sought to testify regarding the high costs and limited environmental benefits of EIB's proposed carbon dioxide restrictions.
EIB was also widely criticized for the timing of its formal announcement that it would impose the controversial carbon dioxide restrictions. EIB waited until Election Day to formally announce its decision, which conveniently kept the highly unpopular restrictions from being a decisive election issue. At the same time, by making its announcement prior to the new governor taking office, EIB put Gov. Martinez in a potentially sticky political situation of blocking a regulation already supported an approved by EIB.
"Governor Martinez is demonstrating the very integrity and fortitude that voters expected when they elected her governor," said Jay Lehr, science director for the Heartland Institute. "Governor Martinez is setting a strong, principled example that other newly elected state and federal officials would be wise to follow."
"Harrison Schmitt is an incredibly knowledgeable geologist and the perfect person to safeguard New Mexico job growth while encouraging environmentally sound energy production," Lehr added. "The New Mexico Department of Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Development will be in good hands."

MUMBAI: With traffic cops cracking down on motorists with sun-films on their cars, citizens are making a beeline for vehicle and accessory dealers to have the films removed. And the mad rush has left dealers, most of whom had charged exorbitant amounts to apply sun-films on glasses in the first place, with heavier wallets. In the last five days alone, nearly 600 dealers across the city have raked in Rs 30 lakh by removing sun-films from more than 10,000 cars, jeeps, SUVs, taxis and tempos, said sources.
The Supreme Court has banned the use of films or any material on glass panes and windshields of vehicles.
Some of the motorists are upset with the dealers for not informing them about the Supreme Court order while selling them the films for as high as Rs 12,000 per car recently. "Now, the same dealers are making additional money (about Rs 250-750 per car) by removing the films. The traffic police action has brought them good business," alleged a car owner who did not wish to be named.
The dealers told TOI that the police and RTO officials have asked them not to sell any kind of films for car windows/windscreens. "We read about the Supreme Court order in newspapers and will abide by it," said a dealer from Mulund. He said that at least 10 to 20 cars are brought to his shop daily to remove the film. "While some cars have dark films, most have films that offer good visibility. But these also have to be removed as per the court's guidelines," he said.
Some of the traffic cops have been conducting checks in the vicinity of the shops. Said a police constable, "It becomes easier for us to enforce the law. When we spot a car with sun-film, we ask the driver to remove it on the spot. If s/he is unable to do so, we direct him/her to a local shop where it can be done."
Drivers of cars with films are fined Rs 100 and their driving licence is confiscated by the cops. The driving licence is returned only after the film has been removed.
"Get the film removed and come back tomorrow with the car to collect your driving licence," a traffic cop told a motorist who was caught on LBS Marg on Tuesday.
While the Rs-100 fine is not a big issue for car owners, it's the impounding of the driving licence that has prompted motorists to rush to the nearest dealer. Some of the big-time dealers of sun-films in Mumbai, who had an annual turnover of over Rs one crore, now find themselves out of business. The RTOs have also sent notices to car dealers, asking them to create awareness among new car buyers.
State transport commissioner V N More has appealed to car owners to have the films removed voluntarily.

Courtesy Washington Lettuce & Vegetable/Hughes Farms Inc.Spring planting of red potatoes at Washington Lettuce & Vegetable/Hughes Farms Inc.A cool, dry growing season has fruit and vegetable growers and shippers in Washington's Skagit Valley anticipating a brisk sales season.
"We're coming in earlier than normal because of the warm weather and good pollination," said Harley Soltes, owner of Bow, Wash.-based Bow Hill Blueberries.
Soltes said he anticipates production of 50,000-70,000 pounds of organic berries from the 5-6 acres dedicated to the fruit, compared to about 30,000 a year ago.
The deal started July 20 and likely will run until the end of September, Soltes said.
The season is off to a brisk start at Mount Vernon, Wash.-based Skagit Flats Farm, said Andy Ross, owner.
"It's been a good year so far. The weather has been favorable and prices have been, I guess I'd say, fair and steady and stable," he said, referring to his 6 acres of lettuce, 4 acres of summer squash and 3 acres of winter squash, to go with "a little bit of snap beans and cucumbers."
Summer squash should wrap up in mid- to late September, with lettuce running into mid- to late October and leading to the October-December winter squash deal, Ross said.
"Price has been fair and the other farmers I talk to seem to be having good years between favorable weather and favorable market," he said.
A cold spring with a bit of moisture slowed up planting, but consistent 80-degree days helped to speed up the process, said Diane Dempster, locally grown manager at Charlie's Produce, a Seattle-based wholesale distributor.
"For the most part, things are going really well," said Dempster, whose company sources cucumbers, broccoli, potatoes, berries and other items from the Skagit Valley.
Potato growers said they are looking at average yields and normal starts.
"We had a very dry summer, so everybody has been irrigating as fast as we can, but here in the Pacific Northwest we worry about getting water off the field, not usually putting the water on them," said Dean Cunningham, vice president of Mount Vernon, Wash.-based Washington Lettuce & Vegetable/Hughes Farms Inc.
Overly dry weather hasn't helped, but there have been worse summers, Cunningham said.
"It's been a dry summer for sure, but three years ago, we had a really dry summer and some very high temperatures, too," he said.
The key is for the dry weather to hold out long enough to get all the necessary digging done, Cunningham said.
"We've got a million things to do between now and the middle of November, but that depends, of course, on everybody getting everything dug and put away," he said.

Raving Brands is also one of the fastest-growing franchise companies in the country, with plans in place for an aggressive quadrupling to more than 2,000 units across the country by the end of this decade. With all but a few of each concept in the hands of franchisees, the company must keep its systems buttoned up tight.
"The whole idea is to simplify," says Seth Salzman, senior VP and chief "brand hand" for Boneheads, who started with Raving Brands as VP of operations for the flagship Moe's Southwest Grill. "We want to create brands that really resonate with customers and are franchisable, so that we can help the entrepreneurs who join us as franchisees make money. And that means everything's got to fit together and run smoothly."
Key to the success of all of the brands - which also include such limited-selection concepts as Planet Smoothie and PJ's Coffee - is a mix-and-match menu strategy that lets customers select which protein to build their meal on. At Moe's, patrons choose among burritos, tacos, fajitas and so on, with a choice of chicken, steak, ground beef, fish or tofu. Mama Fu's fans can enjoy made-to-order pan-Asian stir fries like Red Thai Curry, fried rice, pad Thai or teriyaki with chicken, beef, shrimp or tofu and veggies. Doc Green's build-your-own salads can be topped with an array of proteins, from grilled portabello mush- rooms and crispy chicken tenders to grilled sirloin steak and chilled poached salmon.
"That's what our customers love about us," says Daniel Barash, who has his hands on all the menus as director of new product development. "They can get what they want, and because everything is made to order, they know it will be fresh."
The Boneheads franchise - one of the newer concepts, with a 2005 debut - is the company's foray into fast-casual seafood. The menu centers on simple grilled fish and chicken preparations, with a special nod to the piri piri pepper, a flavorful South African spice that is the core of the concept's proprietary seasoning blend and sauces. Selections include charbroiled salmon, tilapia, mahimahi, shrimp, grouper and crispy fish and chips, with a choice of topping (pineapple salsa, cucumber-lime and yogurt, sautéed piri piri mushrooms) and dipping sauce (lemon and herb); and grilled Piri Piri Chicken with any sauce. There are appetizers, such as Piri Piri Shrimp, Crispy Calamari and peel-and-eat shrimp, as well as sandwiches, tacos and salads with a choice of protein.
Boneheads drives the rest of the Raving Brands stable in the seafood category. Although just five units strong at this point, the concept gives the company a strong incentive to leverage species into the other menus, where seafood exists as an option rather than a specialty of the house.
Raving Brands just added a Baja-style fish taco to the menu at Moe's, which has 330 units in three-dozen states. The item is a variation of the popular fish taco introduced at Boneheads; the fish, farm-raised basa from Vietnam, is also available as a protein option in Moe's other specialties.
"We put fish tacos on the menu because we wanted another protein option that was affordable for us and for our customers, and because as we moved into the Southwest and California, we were running into more competitors with fish tacos," explains Barash.
Tested for four months in 10 markets, Moe's fish taco was rolled out system-wide at the beginning of the summer and exceeded sales expectations.
"We're selling an average of 30 pounds of whitefish in each unit across the board," says Barash. "And that's just with in-house marketing."
The Raving Brands team, a fluid core of foodservice professionals who work across all the different concepts as need dictates, investigated a number of species for Moe's fish tacos.
"We tried 10 or 12 different kinds of fish at the price point we can afford," says Salzman. "Cod, pollock, tilapia; we hadn't been familiar with basa, but it outperformed every other species in terms of flavor, quality and holding."
Now, basa is used wherever a menu cites "fish," as in the fish and chips and the fish taco at Boneheads.
"It's a great product," says Barash. "It's mild and flaky and keeps its moisture when held."
With a fast-casual menu, this last characteristic is particularly important. "When we do cuttings, we not only blind-taste the product, we also put it through a typical holding period before tasting it, so we can see how it will really perform in operations."
The testing is part of the commitment that Raving Brands has made to its 300-plus franchisees. Menu items, procedures and systems have all been rigorously designed and put in place, allowing the individual owner-operators to hit the ground running.
"Because of our growing buying power, it makes sense to use as many products as possible across all the brands," notes Barash, "especially with something like seafood, which we bring in only in the frozen state."
Grouper, the No. 1 fish on Boneheads' menu, is being tested as an option at Mama Fu's. The company is also looking at purchasing identical shrimp across all the operations, "as long as we can do it without compromising the integrity of the individual menus," says Salzman.
Purchasing is consolidated wherever possible. The company counts on its distributor-partners in each major market to bring in product to a central point, coordinating shipping from a group of preferred suppliers and delivery to the different brand concepts.
"We will change the spec on something popular like shrimp in order to be able to use the same source across all the different brands," notes Salzman.
"We have procedures for everything, and that's particularly important when you're working with a product like seafood," he adds. "We want to make it as idiot-proof as possible, so that we keep things simple, safe and at the highest possible level of quality."
It's safe to say that there will be more seafood on Raving Brands' menus, and more concepts in the portfolio that sell fish.
"We're looking at all kinds of species," says Barash, "and we're constantly toying with ideas." LTO's [limited time offers] are a distinct possibility on a test basis, and it wouldn't be out of the question to see calamari or mahimahi making the transition from Boneheads to some of the other brands - or for additional species, such as scallops or mussels, to show up on any of the menus.
"As long as it fits within our system and can work in a simple and efficient kitchen setup, we are very interested in seafood," says Salzman.

Brazilian National Sentenced For Immigration Fraud
A citizen and national of Brazil, Andrea Carla Barbosa, 36, of Orange Beach, was sentenced today to five years of probation and removal from the country after pleading guilty to immigration fraud, United States Attorney Kenyen R. Brown of the Southern District of Alabama announced today.
Barbosa pled guilty in November to attempting to obtain citizenship by fraud. She entered the United States in 2001 and after overstaying her visa, she applied for naturalization based on a fraudulent marriage to a United States citizen. Although Barbosa was sentenced to five years of probation, a requirement of her probation is that she voluntarily leave the United States in March or be deported.
The investigation was conducted by the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations, and prosecuted by Assistant United states Attorney Sean P. Costello.

It is easy to take things for granted; the Wadih Jreissati and Sons campaign strives to shed light on some of the more commonly neglected objects around the house. Shower heads, toilets, bathtubs and bathroom tiles are used on a daily basis. It is easy to forget how much work they do to make human lives more convenient and bearable. This ad campaign reminds people of everything they do.
Conceived and executed by Blitz, an ad agency based in Beirut, Lebanon, the Wadih Jreissati and Sons campaign is quite dramatic. Photographer Steve Kozman put a darkly theatrical spotlight on the bathroom facilities being honored while copy writers Dalia Nahas and Maia Bulbol penned some beautiful odes in tribute of their hard work. It was art directed by Joseph Hajj Assaf.

This production of "The Mikado" opened originally at the City Center January 13, 1987 and, after a short tour, reopened at the Virginia April 2, 1987.
The first attraction in this year's International Premiere Celebration presented by the 55th Street Dance Theater Foundation opened for a week's run at the City Center Tuesday night. It was, however, not a ballet but an operetta - Gilbert & Sullivan's perennial favorite, "The Mikado."
Brian Macdonald's staging of "The Mikado" has already been seen in this city via PBS television. Some Savoyard purists complained about Macdonald's frequent breaks with G & S tradition. The score was entirely reorchestrated, often in the manner of Joseph Papp's Broadway version of "Pirates of Penzance"; some non-Sullivan music was added; and many passages in Gilbert's book and lyrics were revised to give the show contemporary relevance.
Actually, the text changes work. Gilbert's poetry and prose spoofed the political and social climate of Victorian England, and there is really no reason - barring questions of taste - why one can't change some words to spoof the foibles of our own time. It's pointedly amusing when the Mikado, in his "Let the Punishment Fit the Crime" aria, makes references to Japanese cars invading the U.S. market, New York subways, insider trading on Wall Street, Donald Trump and Joan Rivers.
What's disturbing, though, are some of the sounds coming from the orchestra pit. There's nothing wrong with adding tam-tam crashes to punctuate portentous situations. However, as in Papp's "Pirates," the use of synthesizers and egregious tinkles on the xylophone, glockenspiel and marimba completely falsifies the character of the music.
That said, this "Mikado" is otherwise most enjoyable. Macdonald's staging is busy yet always humorously in focus, and the fact that Susan Benson's elaborate costumes and props contrast strikingly with her very simple sets allows the viewer to concentrate fully on the characters.
None of the cast members could be called a great singer, but they all perform vivaciously. As the diffident Lord High Executioner Ko-Ko, Eric Donkin proved his expertise in patter, and his uncanny resemblance to Rodney Dangerfield certainly didn't do any harm. Arlene Meadows - gloriously homely in the manner of Marie Dressler - was a virtually definitive Katisha, and her scenes with Donkin were pricelessly hilarious.
John Keane and Marie Baron were very attractive as Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum, and Avo Kittask caught all the parody inherent in the Mikado's scenes. I don't think I've ever seen a funnier Pooh-Bah than Richard McMillan, though I've certainly heard better - the role demands the rolling tones of a true basso profondo, and that, unfortunately, McMillan is not. Considering the problems in the orchestration, Berthold Carriere's conducting was most adroit.
This production of "The Mikado" opened originally at the City Center January 13, 1987 and, after a short tour, reopened at the Virginia April 2, 1987.
Over the past 25 or so years - since the D'Oyly Carte copyright on Gilbert and Sullivan finally and mercifully lapsed - there have been various productions of "The Mikado" here, there and everywhere.
The one that arrived last night at the City Center Theater from Canada's Stratford Festival proved blithe, cheerful and colorless. It will not offend G & S purists (except the most dying of the die-hards), but nor is it likely to enchant them.
Its limitations make only a little list - but they are, unfortunately, list enough.
First nowadays we expect voices of operatic - or near operatic - caliber in Gilbert and Sullivan, and this the Stratfordians, while North America's leading theater troupe - scarcely attempt to provide. Nor really - in some key roles - do they offer truly outstanding clowns.
Second - apart from this undercasting - the production has no point of view. The accounts of Jonathan Miller's controversial "Mikado," which has just erupted with the English National Opera in London, make this deficiency all the more noticeable.
After all, what an extraordinary English tribal rite of Empire this pieces of coarse japonaiserie actually is, with its jolly English tunes, merry savages and witty yet also facetious Gilbertian tonguetwisting.
How heartless it is, how sexless! What a remarkable complacency it has - even the music sounds smug and self-satisfied, while the humor is plump, a sort of genteel version of the lower-classed English music halls, whose more robust rituals are mimicked and patronized.
This said, it must also be admitted that Brian Macdonald's essentially balletic staging does have its own definite merits.
Certainly it is agreeable to escape from the awesome and heavy hand of the D'Oyly Carte Opera, and all that tediously traditional Savoyard rigmarole and caricature.
Macdonald's production is bright and breezy - full of acrobats, tumblers, and amusing scenery changes. Some of the set pieces are most expertly choreographed, and the whole operetta moves exceptionally well.
It is much helped here by the plain but imaginatively elegant scenery by Susan Benson and Douglas McLean, and Miss Benson's vibrant costumes, which suggest a more authentic Japan than either Gilbert or Sullivan ever dreamed of.
Unfortunately the look of the show - it has an air of Stephen Sondheim's "Pacific Overtures" to it - hardly meshes with the music, and the legitimate speed of the ensembles is continually being held up the tiny patter of patter songs and their accompanying patter dances.
Thus what we see is not quite what we hear, and there is no profit made from the contrast, which is left unnoticed rather than used for contemporary comment.
But the real weakness of the evening comes from the performances, which are just not good enough.
Oddly enough, this Stratford Company, although rightly world renowned for its Shakespeare, also has a lively tradition of Gilbert and Sullivan productions, stretching back to its first artistic director, Sir Tyrone Guthrie.
But in those - or so it seems to me in retrospect - the comedians were either better directed (which is possible) or more talented.
Eric Donkin's Ko-Ko is low-calorie indeed. It has no gusto or guts, and Mr. Donkin is no singer. As Pooh-Bah, Richard McMillan sings perhaps a little better, but his characterization is excessively ordinary, stabbed out with stock acting.
Avo Kittask - the best singer of the largely non-vocal bunch - was at the very least a capable Mikado, with a decently gurgling bloodthirsty laugh, and a bass voice of reasonable range.
The tenor who sings Nanki-Poo scarcely needs the vocal equipment of a Caruso (a Tito Schipa would have done very nicely!) but he needs a stronger more reliant voice and firmer personality than that displayed by John Keane - a singer who unexpectedly made me almost pine for the D'Oyly Carte.
Arlene Meadows was clumsily non-monstrous as Katisha (one of Gilbert's uglier Victorian sexist attacks on women) and Marie Baron almost sweetly unnoticeable as Yum-Yum.
So, let me register what Gilbert called somewhat "modified rapture" at this "Mikado" - incidentally, and all praise to him for this, isn't it amazing how many Gilbertian phrases have entered our language - but with Berthold Carriere's lively conducting, and Macdonald's agreeably harum-scarum staging, the evening has a certain liveliness to commend it.
And at least you will come out humming those catchy little Sullivan melodies that always remind me of parrots in a church choir imitating humming birds sings "Rule Brittania" and Handel.
But, of course, that's rather a personal view!
This production of "The Mikado" opened originally at the City Center January 13, 1987 and, after a short tour, reopened at the Virginia April 2, 1987.
The most splendid of many eye-catching moments in the Stratford (Canada) Festival's modernized, thrillingly kinetic production of Gilbert and Sullivan's ''Mikado'' comes in the second act, when the title character makes his grand entrance.
As acrobatic revelers stir up a flurry of anticipation, a giant black-and-white lacquered box is wheeled onto the stage. Instantly, the box magically unfolds into a golden shoji screen that forms a gleaming backdrop against which the ruler (Avo Kittask) unfolds from a kneeling position to his full majesty. Declaiming in his sturdy baritone, ''A More Humane Mikado Never Did in Japan Exist,'' the Mikado announces some of the ways he intends to make ''the punishment fit the crime.''
''The American buyer of imported cars, Toyotas, Mercedes or Saabs/ His teeth I've enacted shall all be extracted by Yankees losing their jobs,'' goes one pronouncement. Unethical financiers are also given fair warning: ''The Wall Street investor with insider knowledge whose methods are due for a cure/Attends an inquiry to quote from his diary till he is both Standard and Poor.''
Clever as they are, these topical lyrics, written by John Banks, don't supersede those of W. S. Gilbert. Like the rest of the production, which arrived at the City Center Theater (131 West 55th Street) on Tuesday, where it will play through Sunday, they blend with the operetta's Victorian elements into a fluent, amusing interplay of sensibilities. The production, directed and choreographed by Brian Macdonald, was first staged at the Stratford Theater Festival in 1982 and is having its New York premiere as part of a national tour that has already seen performances in Boston and Baltimore. The production transforms Gilbert and Sullivan's farcically fussy 1885 warhorse into a streamlined, athletically energetic show that strikes a delightful balance between musty D'Oyly Carte traditions and today's seamless Broadway musical.
The energy of the staging and lyric adaptations extends to the musical end of the show. Under the supervision of Berthold Carriere, the 28-member ensemble creates a glistening choral sound that balances comfortably with the conductor's rhythmically robust orchestral approach. And the individual cast members bring to their roles a crisp clarity of enunciation, along with a broad but controlled mastery of comic persona that stops well short of camp.
Caroling in a chaste high tenor, John Keane's wide-eyed, pony-tailed Nanki-Poo presents the Mikado's renegade son as a latter-day hippie minstrel happily adrift in a morbid romantic dream world. Marie Baron gives the ingenue role of Yum-Yum a dash of satirical vinegar as she muses, ''I wonder in my artless Japanese way why it is I am so much more attractive than anyone else in the world.''
Outfited in courtly garb that makes him resemble a giant-size Monarch butterfly, his waist cinched with a sash that looks like miniature lion heads attached to a string of sausages, husky-voiced Eric Donkin offers an incisive portrayal of Ko-Ko, the none-too-bright tailor who is elevated overnight to the position of Lord High Executioner. In an inspired bit of staging, he delivers ''On a Tree by a River, a Little Tom-Tit Sang, Willow, Tit-Willow'' from the center of a bonsai fir. Richard McMillan's imperious Pooh-Bah almost steals the show with a chameleon voice that ranges from the stratosphere of English upperclass snootiness to a perfect impersonation of Sylvester Stallone.
''The Mikado'' is beautiful to look at. The spare, handsome sets, designed by Susan Benson and Douglas Maclean, offer striking visual tableaus that feature only two or three principal elements - a giant moon, elegant twisted trees, a fan that rises at the back of the stage, hanging flowers, and movable platforms. The spareness of the set gives the cast a lot of room in which to frisk, and Mr. Macdonald's athletic choreography, which uses ritualistic body language and martial arts maneuvers in a humorous way, deftly uses the actors as integral kinetic elements of a high-powered visual concept.
With all its contemporary references, one should not be tempted to find a dark subtext amid all the merriment. The Stratford Festival ''Mikado'' succeeds in what it wants to be - lovely, juicy, silly fun.

With the Hades bookm I now have a reason to field the coolest and most useless Axis models I have. I was wondering if anyone else was going to run them with grenades instead of the visible laser upgrade?
Their lack of dice/ firepower was the reason I shelved them and 5 more attacks that ignore cover and automaticly suppress seem to make them a lot more playable. I'm already 12" close so the grenade 6" range shouldn't be an issue.
Anyone else making the Grenadiers with lasers?

Verified Purchase
I wanted a bag that I could use as an everyday purse as well as an art bag to
carry supplies and sketchbooks. With all its organized pockets and deep main
compartment, the Nomadic Wise-Walker is perfect for exactly that.
A previous reviewer gave a great description by saying it doesn't feel like you're carrying the bag-- it feels like you're wearing it. Most other shoulder bags might be bulky or sway clumsily, but the Nomadic Wise-Walker hugs close to the body, feeling stable and secure. Unlike most bags or purses, it doesn't feel awkward to reach down and open a pocket. It feels natural. There's no fumbling around for what you're looking for. And while other bags will sag or slump over when set down upright, this bag stands up easily by itself. I've yet to carry my 15" macbook in it, so I can't comment much about the padding, or lack thereof, but I already own a separate padded case for added protection. So while I think the bag could handle carrying a laptop, it would be wise to pick up a case, to be on the safe side. Natural. Functional. Wonderful. I'm very impressed with the Nomadic Wise-Walker, and I'd highly recommend it for artists, writers, students-- anyone who has a lot of items to carry, and want a highly organized bag that looks great and works great. 3 people found this helpful

Verified Purchase
I am normally too lazy to write such reviews, beside who has time these days.
But I felt that I have write something and tell people about this product. This
bag is the most amazing bag I ever purchased as a matter of fact I bought 2 of
this product. Let me tell why I love this product so much, it strong so strong I
pack it with all sorts of crap and man this thing stands any beating. The design
and all these pockets inside and outside it will make you busy looking for
stuff, and this is not a bad thing. I have 2 Cell phones iPad and iPod all fit
nicely in the front and inside pockets. The thing it is a little issue I hope
they fix that in the next generation, the fabric is so thin so it doesn't
provide padding and protection to electronic devices (laptop, iPad, etc.) so if
they add a padding compartment it will make this product the best bag in the
world. Last is the price trust me when I tell $81 is not that expensive
specially when you review other products in the market they more expensive and
less functional, it is worth the price. I highly recommend this product.

Verified Purchase
The Wise-Walker gives me the feeling that I am wearing it instead of carrying
it. Aside from being well designed and stylish, nothing about this bag gives
strangers the impression it is expensive or has anything expensive in it. Now
that plastic bags are outlawed in California, it does come in handy for that
trip to the convenience store. It took a quart of milk,quart of orange juice and
two soup cans in the main compartment. If I have anything in the main
compartment,it's pretty easy to find another compartment for it. The other part
I have noticed is that the zippers are sturdy and have well designed pull tabs
on each and everyone making it easy to find,open,and close.
I rarely need to carry a laptop,so I might point out there is no padding for one, be sure to use a sleeve. Tablets should fit nicely and again a sleeve or folder is a good idea. So far I like this bag and I have tried many out there. Lower priced ones do make passing grade,but sooner or later wear out or or the zippers break. Sooner or later I find myself not wanting to carry it around. That's the thing about the Wise-Walker. I have not in the several weeks I have owned it, gotten tired of it, and I find myself taking it with me whenever I go out. I'll gladly give it five. 1 person found this helpful

I truly love this bag. It is sturdy, attractive and has an amazing number of
pockets. Normally, when I buy a purse that has more than 3 pockets, I am not
able to find anything I'm looking for. But these pockets are so well
thought-out, it's very easy to remember where I've put what. Beautiful, useful,
very stylish. I highly recommend it!

Verified Purchase
Awesome bag. I've been using it everyday for almost a year now (taking the
subway with it daily, and traveling with it regularly), and still in great
shape. The fabric is a bit thin and there's no padding at the bottom, so if you
put a laptop in there you may want it to be in a protective sleeve or something.
My 13" macbook pro fits perfectly.
The pockets are all super useful (and you get a cute little Japanese insert showing you what to use them for!), and it's easy to sew on patches to make it a little more personal. A++ bag. |

Republican Jon Kyl and Democrat Jim Pederson are making a final dash in their high-stakes U.S. Senate race, a contest that both men believe is winnable.
In the last few days before Tuesday's election, they are spending more than $500,000 apiece to purchase air time, creating the deepest glut of political television advertising in state history.
As if that's not enough, the Washington-based Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has purchased $1.1 million worth of airtime during the final five days of the race to support Pederson.
"We think that Jim Pederson is going to be an excellent senator and we want to do what we can to help push him over the finish line," said DSCC spokesman Phil Singer.
In addition, the American Medical Association and the Right to Work Committee have purchased smaller blocks of time for TV spots that benefit Kyl.
Major themes for Pederson's commercials during the home stretch are the need to reassess the country's role in the war in Iraq and the need to vanquish Republicans from the nation's capital.
Kyl's final message reinforces his experience on national security matters and his position to strengthen enforcement along the border with Mexico.
Pederson and Kyl also are blazing across the state seeking hands to shake.
The brightest blue star in the political universe, former President Bill Clinton, appeared with Pederson at rallies in Tempe and Tucson on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Kyl appeared at a press conference in Phoenix alongside a selection of Republican and Democratic elected officials and law-enforcement agents who pledged their support.
"Republican, Democrat, it doesn't matter," said Ron Green, Democratic mayor of Safford, during Kyl's event.
"Jon Kyl's long list of accomplishments for Arizona isn't a partisan deal. He has always listened and worked closely with us, the local leaders of Arizona," he said.
Both sides also claimed Thursday each is already winning the race.
Both released memos from their respective survey firms that indidated they are leading among ballots already cast.
The decisions to release the surveys were somewhat usual, because campaign strategists usually closely guard the results of their surveys for strategic reasons.
In some cases though, releasing the numbers could be viewed as a strategic advantage because favorable results indicate momentum.
The DSCC memo indicates 30 percent of the state's electorate already has voted.
Pederson has bagged 44 percent of the vote, while Kyl has 40 percent and other unnamed candidates had 4 percent, according to a sampling of 594 early voters. The remaining voters contacted by the firm refused to comment, according to the memo by pollsters Paul Harstad and Chris Keating.
"Our latest tracking poll shows that Jim Pederson's margin among early voters is growing as we get closer to the election," they wrote.
Hours later, Kyl's campaign released a memo from pollster Margaret Kenski of the Tucson firm Arizona Opinion in which she stated she was surprised by Harstad's findings.
"Since early October, we have polled 4,020 Arizona voters about the Senate race between Jon Kyl and Jim Pederson. Among the 1,933 who indicated they would vote early or had already done so, Sen. Jon Kyl had a substantial lead," she wrote in the memo.
Her findings indicated Kyl leads with 46.9 percent of the mail-in ballots, Pederson trails with 38.3 percent and Libertarian Richard Mack follows with 2.8 percent.

This may seem odd, but actually cufflinks predate the shirt! There is evidence of their use in ancient
hieroglyphics in the tomb of Tutankhamun. But cufflinks as we know them were first used during the 1700s.
A pair of solid gold cufflinks certainly complete an outfit for a man far better than buttons, and Celtic designs lend themselves particularly well to incorporating into cufflink jewellery.
To explore these Grant Logan solid gold cufflinks please click on the images or links below. All Grant Logan's distinctive cufflinks are designed and hand made by Grant in his studio in Campbeltown, Kintyre, on the west coast of Scotland

I have potted up several to bring, and moved what I wanted to a new area. Question is, can they be dug and brought to the swap without being potted? There would be no room for the remaining I have in our truck if potted and I hate just to throw them away.
Forgive any misspelling, fingers sore (wonder why) and brain not working, as usual. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Maybe if you keep them moist. Typically they wilt pretty badly after digging, so the shock might get them. But if you baby them and whoever takes them puts them out promptly, they may bounce back. |

Thank you (april h o)! A neighbor's mother that has just put in a nature trail in the country will take the plants. Let her know they might not bloom this year, just depends. So glad I do not have to just ditch them. |

A Portfolio Approach to Marketing ROI
StuartNicholson permalinkJune 30, 2010
I agree with most of what you have said.However there is a need to an extent to continue to make comparisons of the performance of one platform with another as the reality is that marketeers continue to have spearate budget "siloes" that they need to make choices about in terms o where to spend the proportion of their budgets.
The siloes however are more likely to be between "media" and other expnditure areas such as In-store, events, other forms of btl etc.
While there still seems to be a division made by marketeers between digital communcation inestment and offline, that is being eroded very quickly through the interchangeability of platform (nternet on TV, TV on computer etc) to the extent that while its true that at the moment many look for ROI comparisons btween say internet and TV inorder to justify their investment decisions, that will quickly become irrelevant as platforms will be so mixed up that noone will care too much any more.The common bond is going to be the content.As all media becomes digital in nature it will in any event be possible to measure ROI more easily as the range of metrics available are greater.These metrics will allow us to make cross-platform analysis more easily.The skill will be in selection of the most important metrics to use from the many available to use as the benchmark of comunications success.

Your points are well taken. I think it's a matter of how seriously you take the numbers. Even digital metrics are open to quite a bit of interpretation. So I don\t think it's a matter of using metrics or not (they don't give out Nobel's for nothing), but understanding that they will only take you so far.

Outstanding piece. Your intellect and insight are spot on. I applaud your insight into the analogous relationship between finance and marketing. I would offer one thought: Don't hold your supposition as a "law" because, like finance, if one were to "own" a particular media through a saturation campaign, one can have very strong returns. Yet, as you point out, the risk is the the key variable. I hope to read more of your thoughts, and welcome your comments on my blog: http://www.leightonpost.com

Very interesting topic. Indeed, information is a poor substitute for understanding, but It's powerful tool for understanding and can lead to an easier and clear action.
The most important is how people deal with information they have and how they are able to transform this information into intelligence and knowledge and this clearly involves processes, policies and well developed human capital.
Information never aimed to be a substitute for understanding, but a support tool and an accelerator for it.
Alex Bakun permalinkJuly 28, 2010
Nice point on diversification. Very seldom even MNL clients even try to understand this in Ukraine. I guess it's not only our local failure. As for ROI, for me it's accountable in modeling or whatever only if it is multimedia (better multi-contact including BTL). Otherwise it doesn't make a model of reality at all )
It's like doing a correllation instead of multiple regression. Though I agree Stewart just like to propose a workaround to return to single-metrics.[Reply]

Artful Lodging
Contemporary furnishings and a bold palette update a Victorian home
By Elle Decor Staff
Grand Rapids| Michigan
Leaving a job in computer programming to start an interior-design business might seem an odd career move, but not for Eric Oliver. "I was always interested in design," says the 41-year-old, who has called Michigan home since 1988. "I redid a dozen of my own houses, helped friends decorate, and slowly, over the last 10 years, I turned a hobby into a profession."
Oliver can add remodeler to his résumé, having completed his most ambitious undertaking thus far—the 12-year renovation of a Victorian-style home (now a condo) in the historic Heritage Hill district of Grand Rapids. Built in 1885 as a single-family residence, the building was converted to apartments in the 1940s with one unit on the first level and a duplex taking up the second and third floors. By the time Oliver and his business partner, Foye McDonald, bought it in the early 1990s, the grande dame had suffered several unfortunate overhauls inside and out and become a neighborhood eyesore.
Although the basic bones of the duplex stayed intact, the floor plan was slightly modified: Oliver kept the main living spaces and a bedroom on the first level, but moved the master suite up to the second. To improve traffic flow, he widened some of the passageways between rooms and removed a back staircase and a wall that separated the old galley kitchen from a guest bedroom. This made way for a new 250-square-foot kitchen-family room combination. During demolition the original oak flooring was damaged beyond repair, so he replaced it with bamboo planks. "I like the clean look of it, and it separates those informal rooms visually from the rest of the house," he says.
With a lot of elbow grease, Oliver brought most of the original double-hung wood windows back to life, stripping and repairing them as needed. To add more natural light, he added a few new ones, including an east-facing octagonal window in the family room and a two-story-high arch-topped model with stained glass in the landing (which replaced glass block that had been added during a previous renovation). "Everything that's visible from the outside, including the windows, had to be approved by the preservation commission," he notes.
For the interior, however, the designer was able to express his modern sensibilities freely, which he did with a mix of contemporary and midcentury furniture and a bold color scheme. "Choosing paint for other people's houses isn't a problem, but when it came to my own it took me forever," he says. "I wanted it to be just right to highlight the art and architecture." Eventually, Oliver selected deep charcoal gray for the walls of the kitchen, dining, and family rooms. The strong hue serves as a bold backdrop for his collection of abstract oil paintings. "I like to balance dark tones by spiking them with colorful accents," he explains. Even the room's contrasting glossy white trim becomes part of the palette, brightening up the space and highlighting period window casings and base moldings.
floor plans: before
In the old second-floor plan, the duplex's kitchen was cut off from the living spaces, and there were two staircases leading to the top level.
floor plans: after
The back staircase and wall between the kitchen and a bedroom were removed to accommodate a combined kitchen-family room in the new layout. The former master bedroom (the new one is upstairs) was designated as a guest suite with an adjoining bath and sunroom. A new washer and dryer were installed in the bathroom just off the foyer.

Potential voters were given the opportunity to compare and contrast all six candidates running for City Council District 19 when the five Democrats and one Republican came face to face in a forum on Aug. 14 at Temple Beth Sholom in Flushing.
The Democrats, John Duane, Paul Graziano, Austin Shafran, Paul Vallone and Chrissy Voskerichian, will square off in a primary on Sept. 10, with the winner taking on Republican challenger Dennis Saffran in the general election on Nov. 5.
The wide-ranging topics facing the candidates in the politically and demographically diverse district ranged from politicians' integrity and stop and frisk to education and services aimed at immigrants in the community.
When the evening was over, no clear-cut favorite emerged as, based on a small exit sampling, audience members, numbering around 150, to a great extent remained undecided.
Should he be elected, Duane, a former state Assembly member and longtime consumer advocate, said his top three priorities would be to focus on the integrity issue, particularly regarding discretionary funding, overdevelopment in the community and reducing overcrowding in the district's schools.
For Graziano, an urban planner and lifelong resident of North Flushing, overdevelopment is the main issue, followed by education, which he called "a huge draw to middle-class families who move to this area," and "nuts and bolts" quality-of- life issues.
Shafran, whose prior experience includes working for former Congressman Gary Ackerman and Gov. Cuomo, focused on the "need to end mayoral control" of the city's schools, cutting property taxes for homeowners and overdevelopment.
An attorney, Vallone said of primary importance to him is "being able to contribute to the community," as well as working toward education and quality-of-life reforms.
Voskerichian, a lifelong community resident, civic leader and longtime businesswoman, intends to make everyone aware of exactly what it is that the City Council does, while also focusing on education and public safety issues, particularly as they relate to community-police partnerships.
Saffran, an attorney, cited public safety, the maintenance of higher standards in education and the need to maintain the quality of life in the district as his main issues.
With some of the recent political scandals no doubt in mind, the candidates were questioned as to how they would reform the City Council for the sake of greater integrity. Saffran said that "anyone convicted of a crime should forfeit their public pension." As an example, he indicated that outgoing Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Whitestone), who is facing corruption charges, should not be receiving a public paycheck.
The six candidates are seeking to replace Halloran, who is not seeking re-election.
Voskerichian, who acknowledged she worked for Halloran for three years, said, "You have to have unwavering integrity. Transparency is a very big part of integrity." She added that she is an advocate for participatory budgeting, something Halloran had joined in.
Vallone said, "The most important part is to restore trust in public officials. Public officials have let us down."
Shafran would "ban all outside employment and income for City Council members," adding that they should not work for their personal business clients. And he advocates ending the City Council slush fund.
Graziano would like to see more public financing for political races and the elimination of political funds from special interests. He also called for the removal of the extra money officeholders receive for being committee chairs.
Duane promised to "make my office completely transparent," and said, "We have to look at criminalizing behavior. If you see corruption and don't report it, that should be a misdemeanor."
Voskerichian said it was "a sad day for New Yorkers" when the Community Safety Act, an initiative that would strengthen the ban on discriminatory profiling by the NYPD when officers stop and frisk people, and more oversight of the department, was passed. "It does not help anyone except the criminal," she said.
That was a position with which Saffran agrees. Duane and Vallone endorse the continuation of stop and frisk, while Graziano and Shafran are opposed to it.
On another issue, Shafran said he is "absolutely 100 percent behind municipal voting rights for noncitizens," saying, "I would do everything possible to bring people into the process."
Duane sees as an "inherent conflict of interest" in serving the community while working for private clients. It was a remark that prompted Vallone, whose law office has served the borough for over 80 years, to later say, "I was insulted by that comment," adding that he would be a full-time City Council member.
Another thrust of the discussion concerned translation services available to immigrants in the community, an issue most of the candidates agreed needs improvement.
Shafran bemoaned cultural barriers that he said exist, particularly regarding senior citizens and healthcare. Voskerichian said, "We're missing person-to-person communication." Vallone said the city has failed small business owners because of a lack of communication, while Saffran indicated that all struggling businessmen and women face the same burdens, noting there is no need to separate the immigrants from the others.
Duane said "the city must do a better job providing better translation services." Graziano said he would have a full-time staff of speakers of Chinese, Korean and other languages spoken among the constituents. The five Democratic candidates said they would hire at least one Korean staff member, while Saffran said he could not promise that he would, depending on budgetary restraints.
On the issue of overdevelopment of the district, Duane said, "I'm not taking any money from developers," adding that it is important to "stand up against inappropriate development."
Graziano suggested that "inclusionary zoning has not worked" as it relates to affordable housing.
Shafran acknowledged that "there is an affordable housing crisis," but said that "any City Council member needs to make sure to stop overdevelopment. Any developer must stay within the zoning regulations."
For Vallone, lack of housing is a chief concern. Saffran said affordable housing is important for seniors and young people.
Voskerichian said seniors "already have a lot of breaks," and indicated while affordable housing can be an issue for some, she is more concerned with the "need to build more schools."
Audience members submitted questions for the panel on several issues, including education, prompting Vallone to call for more community input. "We do not get our fair share of resources," he said.
In a school district that is already overcrowded, Shafran indicated that, if unchecked, the problem will lead to "precipitous academic decline."
Graziano suggested the decline has already been seen in some area schools and called for the abolishment of the Department of Education and the re-establishment of local school control.
Duane promised to "fight for a fair share of resources," and said the DOE must solicit more community input. He said he would use part of his discretionary funds to help reduce the size of classes in the district.
Voskerichian suggested a partnership between the city and private schools. "We have to do something and do it soon," she said.
Saffran vowed to bring in additional resources.
All the candidates agree that increased noise from new airplane routes into and out of LaGuardia Airport is a quality-of-life issue that needs to be addressed. They also see eye to eye on raising taxes on the top 1 percent of New Yorkers. All agreed that teachers' salaries should not be determined by results on standardized testing, except Saffran, who said the exams should "partly" determine teachers' pay.
Many in the crowd were ambivalent following the discussion.
Paul Klein of Little Neck said, "It's a very difficult choice. I hope I can make a decision in the primaries. I have a little more clarity."
Ravi Sriram of Douglaston said, "A lot of the issues were relevant," but he remained "somewhat undecided," as he felt "all the candidates brought interesting ideas."
The district takes in College Point, North Flushing, Whitestone, Bayside, Douglaston and Little Neck.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Missy!
Facts about Missy
- Breed: Labrador Retriever
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Missy's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Missy is a sweet 6 yr old purebred black lab. She and cattledog friend, Wrangler, were brought into a local shelter after being picked up as strays. Turned out they had gone for an "unauthorized walk". Even though they had identification, their owner never picked them up.
Subsequently, they were taken into rescue to help them find new homes.
Missy is great with other dogs and easy to have around. She is completely house trained and doesn't get on the furniture. Other than needing to learn to take a treat with a bit more gentleness, she has no bad habits. She only wants love and attention. Missy would benefit from someone who could work on her leash training and take her walking. She could stand to lose a few pounds.
If you would like to meet Missy, please contact Robin at email@example.com or call 602-501-1844.
Other Pets at Brittany Rescue AZ
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Missy, a Phoenix Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

Updated: June 9, 2013 6:23AM
DeKALB — Northern Illinois University Tuesday announced that it soon will begin a national search to find a police chief for its DeKalb campus.
The new chief would replace Donald Grady, who was fired in February. Grady was put on paid leave the previous November as the school reviewed the police department's handling of a case in which an NIU police officer under Grady's command was charged with sexually assaulting a freshman at the school.
The case was dismissed late last year when a DeKalb County judge ruled an officer withheld evidence that could have cleared the officer.
The search for a new chief is expected to last about 90 days and will include stakeholders from the campus and the DeKalb County area, according to a university release.
A search committee will be formed to direct the search process. Due to the specialized nature of university policing, NIU is considering retaining a consulting firm experienced in police chief searches. Candidate interviews are expected to begin in late July, the release said.
"The search process will be inclusive and will feature broad representation from the university community," Bill Nicklas, vice president for Public Safety and Community Relations, said in the release.
The stakeholder groups also are expected to include NIU Police Department supervisors and sworn officers, University Council leaders, and representatives from the President's Commissions on the Status of Minorities and Women, according to the release.
The university hopes to appoint a new chief of police as early as possible in the fall semester, it said.

Luxor Kingdom Contemporary Ivory Rug
Item #: D1322958B-P Add to Wishlist
Features: This product has the following features:
- Collection: Kingdom
- Brand: Luxor
- Material: 100% Polyproplyne
- Weave: Machine Made
- Styles: Contemporary Rugs
- Origin: USA
- Available in the following sizes: 9' 10" x 12' 9"
I was hesitant to order this rug because there were no reviews posted about it. My husband and I really liked the design and decided to just go for it. I'm really happy with the quality. Be aware that the color shown is a little deceiving (at least on my screen) - it's more of a beige color that ivory, and the design is grey instead of blue like I thought it was. The pattern is large in scale and raised up a little from the rug. It's not a really soft rug but it's not scratchy - think standard carpet feel. The rubber backing and rug itself is heavy enough that I didn't opt for a pad underneath, and it has held up in a fairly high traffic area. Overall, this is a great buy.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.
