Ketchup (i/ˈkɛtʃəp/ or i/ˈkɛtʃʌp/), or catsup, is a table sauce. Traditionally, different recipes featured ketchup made of mushrooms, oysters, mussels, walnuts, or other foods,[1][2] but in modern times the term without modification usually refers to tomato ketchup, often called tomato sauce, or, occasionally, red sauce. It is a sweet and tangy sauce, typically made from tomatoes, a sweetener, vinegar, and assorted seasonings and spices. Seasonings vary by recipe, but commonly include onions, allspice, cloves, cinnamon, garlic, and sometimes celery.[3] Heinz tomato ketchup, which contains 23.7g sugar and 3.1g of salt per 100g, is the market leader, with an 82% market share in the UK.[4]
Tomato ketchup is often used as a condiment with various dishes that are usually served hot, including chips/fries, hamburgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, eggs, and grilled or fried meat. Ketchup is sometimes used as a basis or ingredient for other sauces and dressings. Ketchup is also used as a flavoring for things such as crisps/potato chips, and this variety of crisps/chips is one of the most-popular flavors in Canada. This flavor of potato chip was also recently offered[when?] in the U.S.[5]
In the 17th century, the Chinese mixed a concoction of pickled fish and spices and called it (in the Amoy dialect) kôe-chiap or kê-chiap (鮭汁, Mandarin Chinese guī zhī, Cantonese gwai1 zap1) meaning the brine of pickled fish (鮭, salmon; 汁, juice) or shellfish.[6]
By the early 18th century, the table sauce had made it to the Malay states (present day Malaysia and Singapore), where it was discovered by English explorers. The Indonesian-Malay word for the sauce was kecap (pronounced "kay-chap"). That word evolved into the English word "ketchup".[7] English settlers took ketchup with them to the American colonies.[1]
In the United Kingdom, preparations of ketchup were historically and originally prepared with mushroom as a primary ingredient, rather than tomato, and was sometimes referred to specifically as mushroom ketchup.[8][9][10] In the United States, mushroom ketchup dates back to at least 1770, and was prepared by British colonists in "English speaking colonies in North America".[11] In contemporary times, mushroom ketchup is available in the U.K., although it is not a commonly used condiment.[12]
Many variations of ketchup were created, but the tomato-based version did not appear until about a century after other types. By 1801, a recipe for tomato ketchup was created by Sandy Addison and was later printed in an American cookbook, the Sugar House Book.[13]
James Mease published another recipe in 1812. In 1824, a ketchup recipe using tomatoes appeared in The Virginia Housewife (an influential 19th-century cookbook written by Mary Randolph, Thomas Jefferson's cousin). American cooks also began to sweeten ketchup in the 19th century.[14]
As the century progressed, tomato ketchup began its ascent in popularity in the United States. Ketchup was popular long before fresh tomatoes were.[15] Many Americans[who?] continued to question whether it was safe to eat raw tomatoes. However, they were much less hesitant to eat tomatoes as part of a highly processed product that had been cooked and infused with vinegar and spices.[15]
Tomato ketchup was sold locally by farmers. A man named Jonas Yerks (or Yerkes) is believed[by whom?] to have been the first man to make tomato ketchup a national phenomenon. By 1837, he had produced and distributed the condiment nationally.[16] Shortly thereafter, other companies followed suit. F. & J. Heinz launched their tomato ketchup in 1876.[17] Heinz tomato ketchup was advertised: "Blessed relief for Mother and the other women in the household!", a slogan which alluded to the lengthy and onerous process required to produce tomato ketchup in the home.[18]
The Webster's Dictionary of 1913 defined 'catchup' as: "table sauce made from mushrooms, tomatoes, walnuts, etc. [Also written as ketchup]."
Modern ketchup emerged in the early years of the 20th century, out of a debate over the use of sodium benzoate as a preservative in condiments. Harvey W. Wiley, the "father" of the Food and Drug Administration in the US, challenged the safety of benzoate which was banned in the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act. In response, entrepreneurs including Henry J. Heinz, pursued an alternative recipe that eliminated the need for that preservative.[3]
Prior to Heinz (and his fellow innovators), commercial tomato ketchups of that time were watery and thin, in part due to the use of unripe tomatoes, which were low in pectin. They had less vinegar than modern ketchups; by pickling ripe tomatoes, the need for benzoate was eliminated without spoilage or degradation in flavor. But the changes driven by the desire to eliminate benzoate also produced changes[clarification needed] that some experts (such as Andrew F. Smith[19]) believe were key to the establishment of tomato ketchup as the dominant American condiment.
In fast food outlets, ketchup is often dispensed in small packets. Diners tear the side or top and squeeze the ketchup out of the ketchup packets. In 2011, Heinz began offering a new measured-portion package, called the "Dip and Squeeze" packet, which allowed the consumer to either tear the top off the package and squeeze the contents out, as with the traditional packet, or, in the alternative, tear the front off the package and use the package as a dip cup of the type often supplied with certain entreés.[20]
Previously, fast food outlets dispensed ketchup from pumps into paper cups. This method has made a resurgence in the first decade of the 21st century with cost and environmental concerns increasing the use of individual packets.
In October 2000, Heinz introduced colored ketchup products called EZ Squirt, which eventually included green, purple, pink, orange, teal, and blue.[21] These products were made by adding food coloring to the traditional ketchup. As of January 2006[update] these products have been discontinued.[22]
The term used for the sauce varies. Ketchup (sometimes spelled catsup in American English, called "a failed attempt at Anglicization"[23]) is the dominant term in American English and Canadian English, with "catsup" being the prominent term in some southern US states.[24] In these dialects, tomato sauce refers to pasta sauce, and is not a synonym for ketchup. Tomato sauce is more common in Commonwealth English (e.g., Australia, India, New Zealand and South Africa). In British English, the two terms are interchangeable. Red sauce is used in Welsh English, Scottish English, Irish English and some parts of England, such as the Black Country, and in South London, often contrasting with brown sauce with which it is often served but in Canadian and American English, "red sauce" refers to various tomato-based sauces commonly paired with pasta dishes; and is not a synonym for ketchup.
The etymology of the word ketchup is unclear, with multiple competing theories.[25]
One prominent theory is that word came to English via Hong Kong. The Cantonese word for tomato sauce is "kei zap" ( 茄汁 which is a shorterned version of 蕃茄汁).[26] An alternative theory is that the word derives from one of two words from the Fujian region of coastal southern China: "kôe-chiap" (in the Xiamen accent) or "kê-chiap"[27] (in the Zhangzhou accent). Both of these words (鮭汁, kôe-chiap and kê-chiap) come from the Amoy dialect of China, where it meant the brine of pickled fish (鮭, salmon; 汁, juice) or shellfish.[6] There are citations of "koe-chiap" in the Dictionary of the Vernacular or Spoken Language of the Amoy (London; Trudner) from 1873, defined as "brine of pickled fish or shell-fish."
Ketchup may have[7] entered the English language from the Malay word kicap (pron. "kichap", also spelled kecap, ketjap). Originally meaning "fish sauce", the word itself derives the Chinese terms[28] above.
In Indonesian cuisine, which is similar to Malay, the term kecap refers to fermented savory sauces. Two main types are well known in their cuisine: kecap asin which translates to 'salty kecap' in Indonesian (a salty soy sauce) and kecap manis or literally 'sweet kecap' in Indonesian. Kecap manis is a sweet soy sauce that is a mixture of soy sauce with brown sugar, molasses, garlic, ginger, anise, coriander and a bay leaf reduced over medium heat until rather syrupy. A third type, kecap ikan, meaning "fish kecap" is fish sauce similar to the Thai nam pla or the Philippine patis. It is not, however, soy-based.
American anthropologist E.N. Anderson relies on Elizabeth David to claim that ketchup is a cognate of the French escaveche, meaning "food in sauce," but gives no further authority.[29] The word also exists in Spanish and Portuguese forms as escabeche, "a sauce for pickling", which culinary historian Karen Hess traced back to Arabic Kabees, or "pickling with vinegar". The term was anglicized to caveach, a word first attested in the late 17th century, at the same time as ketchup.[25]
The word entered the English language in Britain during the late 17th century, appearing in print as catchup (1690) and later as ketchup (1711). The following is a list of early quotations collected by the Oxford English Dictionary.
The spelling catsup seems to have appeared first from the pen of Jonathan Swift, in 1730.
Some ketchup in the U.S. is labeled "Fancy". This is a USDA grade, relating to specific gravity. Fancy ketchup has a higher tomato solid concentration than other USDA grades.[30]

Ketchup has moderate health benefits.[32] Ketchup is a source of lycopene, an antioxidant which may help prevent some forms of cancer. This is particularly true of the organic brands of ketchup, which have three times as much lycopene.[33] Ketchup, much like marinara sauce and other cooked tomato foods, yields higher levels of lycopene per serving because cooking increases lycopene bioavailability.
Tomato ketchup has an additive, usually xanthan gum, which gives the condiment a pseudoplastic or "shear thinning" property. This increases the viscosity of the ketchup considerably with a relatively small amount added - usually 0.5%. - which can make it difficult to pour from a container. However, the shear thinning property of the gum ensures that when a force is applied to the ketchup it will lower the viscosity enabling the sauce to flow. A common method to getting ketchup out of the bottle involves inverting the bottle and shaking it or hitting the bottom with the heel of the hand, which causes the ketchup to flow rapidly. A technique involves inverting the bottle and forcefully tapping its upper neck with two fingers (index and middle finger together). Specifically, with a Heinz ketchup glass bottle, one taps the 57 circle on the neck. This helps the ketchup flow by applying the correct shearing force.[34] These techniques work because of how pseudoplastic fluids behave: their viscosity (resistance to flow) decreases with increasing shear rate. The faster the ketchup is sheared (by shaking or tapping the bottle), the more fluid it becomes. After the shear is removed the ketchup thickens to its original viscosity.
Costs, rivalry squeeze tomato out of ketchup In a recent article in Leading Indian News paper "The Times of India", it has come into notice that FMCG majors such as Hindustan Unilever (HUL) and Nestle in India are reducing the amount of tomato paste in their ketchups. The quantity of tomato paste in Kissan Fresh Tomato Ketchup made by HUL has gone down from 28% to 22.5%, and in Maggi Rich Tomato Ketchup made by Nestle India from 28.1% to 26.7%. In India's crowded ketchup and sauce market, pegged at Rs 1,000 crore and growing at around 20% year-on-year, Nestle and HUL are wrestling for the lion's share followed by US-based Heinz and other players like Del Monte, Sil, Cremica, Tops and Druk. Tomato paste content in foreign brands like Del Monte (29%) and Heinz (26%) as well as Indian brands like Cremica (34.5%) and Safal (35%) has not come down.[35]

Thinning Correctly
When thinning stone or pome fruit, common sense tells me that when making the choice at a particular spot, you leave the fruitlet hanging below the branch and thin fruit above the branch? Any reason to leave fruit on top of the branch? I have fruit set on my 2nd & 3rd year trees and am super excited... Thanks, Chad
I thin the smaller fruit whether on the top or bottom. If it looks like a branch will touch the ground at harvest (with the weight of the fruit - in other words lower branches) then I remove the ones on the bottom so they don't touch the ground when the branch does.
For branches higher in the canopy, I remove the fruits on top of the branches more often because I've noticed a little more bird damage on fruits on top of the branch. I think it's more convenient for birds to perch on a branch and peck at a fruit on top of the branch. They don't have to bend down much.
Personally I don't know that it matters all that much if you thin on top or bottom, but I do know that a lot of folks will purposely thin all the fruit towards the bottoms of branches because they tend to be more shaded by leaves on the same branch and thus might not color up as well as fruits on the sides or top of the branches.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
You're a Creepy Santa, but we really miss you
Maybe it's the magic of Christmas, maybe it's absence making the heart grow fonder, or maybe I've just spiked my eggnog with too much rum, but today I'm going to say something I never expected to say.
There's no pointing beating around the bush, so I'll just blurt it out -- Creepy Santa, please come home!
By way of background, Creepy Santa is a three-foot-tall plush Santa doll I have immortalized in several groundbreaking holiday columns in recent years.
He was nicknamed Creepy Santa by my daughter because his pale plastic face has a malevolent, open-mouthed glare, like one of those icky inflatable dolls you find on the Internet. To me, he's the spitting image of former Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich, only more lifelike.
Normally at this time of year, Creepy Santa is parked on our porch to scare away carollers and neighbourhood kids who want to shovel our driveway, but last Christmas he vanished, spirited away by kidnappers.
As you can imagine, we were devastated. I am, of course, lying. The truth is, we didn't even know he was missing until, about a week later, a mysterious brown envelope appeared in our mailbox. Inside was a photograph of the little dude sporting a tiny Winnipeg Jets T-shirt. There was also a slip of paper bearing this grisly holiday message: "GO JETS GO!"
My initial reaction was fear -- fear that Creepy Santa's kidnappers would discover how creepy he is and decide to return him. But that's not what happened. Every month since he vanished, we have received a fresh, brown envelope containing a photo and a menacing note detailing the activities he's endured during this ordeal.
For instance, the kidnappers have sent us photographic evidence of our scowling stuffed Santa at the Opening Ceremonies of the Summer Olympics in London, dressed like a swarthy sea dog to celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day, and even floating in the giant inflatable pool in our backyard during this summer's heat wave.
A little more than a month ago, the envelope held a gruesome picture of the rosy-cheeked galoot being tortured by a shadowy figure wearing a mask, a blood-spattered apron and wielding a chainsaw. The attached note asked: "Could this be the end? (No wonder I hate Halloween!)"
And this week, along with the usual Christmas cards, what I suspect may be the last mystery envelope showed up at our door. It yielded a photo of our Creepy Claus perched on the knee of a real-life shopping mall Santa, who was only marginally less creepy.
"Well," the note taped to the photo snickered, "that was awkward!"
The crazy thing is, we are truly starting to miss his creepy little plastic face. We realize now, for better or worse, this holiday horror is a part of our family.
Without him around, it's been painfully quiet at our house this festive season. The only thing we have that passes for a holiday tradition involves my wife and kids hiding Creepy Santa in random locations, then waiting, gleefully, for their hapless victim to stumble on him and scream in holiday horror.
Even my daughter is in mourning, which I know because Thursday we had the following heart-to-heart conversation:
My daughter (sighing): "I miss (sniff) Creepy Santa."
Me: "Um, why?"
My daughter (rolling her eyes): "Duh! Because he's creepy!"
My wife, She Who Must Not Be Named, wants him back, too. I recall the time, a few years ago, she decided to plop him in the passenger seat of her car and take him for a ride when she drove to the mall to pick up our daughter.
En route, she was pulled over by the police. An officer strode briskly over to the car and motioned for her to roll down the window.
"Hello, officer," my wife spluttered.
"You know, ma'am," the officer said, courteously, "your passenger really should be buckled up."
In all this time, the kidnapper or kidnappers have never sent us a ransom note, so we don't have a clue who took Creepy Santa, or why. Naturally, we have accused all of our friends, who deny having anything to do with it. But the point is, they look guilty, which is good enough for me.
So, please, Creepy Santa, if you can hear me, it's time to come home. Christmas just isn't the same without you. I'm praying that very soon I'll hear a familiar, joyful noise rising into the air at our house. I'm talking about the shrieks of terror my wife makes when the kids hide you in our (bad word) shower.

Pressure on Siddaramaiah to reconstitute cultural bodies
With the Congress coming to power in the State, the fate of chairpersons of various academies and authorities appointed by the previous Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government is hanging in the balance.
It is said that campaigning by some of the chairpersons for BJP candidates in the Assembly elections has angered Congress leaders.
They are pressuring Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to reconstitute academies and authorities.
Following a letter from Mukhyamantri Chandru, chairperson of the Kannada Development Authority (KDA), seeking clarification on whether to resign, the Department of Kannada and Culture sought to know from Mr. Siddaramaiah the future course of action with regard to "position" of the chairpersons of academies and authorities.
Speaking to The Hindu, Secretary, Kannada and Culture, Basavaraju, said in view of the letter from the government seeking resignation of chiefs of boards and corporations, Mr. Chandru sought to know whether he should continue as the chairperson of KDA as his term would end by June 2014.
"Besides forwarding his letter, we have sought direction on the position of chairpersons of academies and authorities," Mr. Basavaraju said.
Mr. Chandru said the KDA and Gadinadu Abhivrudhi Pradhikara (Border Area Development Authority) were formed under a specific Act to protect the interests of the land and the language.
Chairpersons of both the bodies need not resign soon after the change in guard in the State. "However, following government notification, I sought a clarification regarding my position", he said.
Besides 12 cultural academies, there are various authorities including KDA, Kannada Book Authority (KBA), Kuvempu Bhasha Bharathi Pradhikara (KBBP), Urdu Academy, Karnataka Chalanachitra Academy and Madhyama Academy and Karnataka Bal Vikas Academy.
Vaijayanthi Kashi was appointed chairperson of the Karnataka Sangeetha Nritya Academy in 2011.
Folklorist Banandur Kempaiah was appointed chairperson of the Janapada Academy in 2012. Chairpersons and members for Karnataka Nataka, Lalita Kala, Yakshagana, Byari, Kodava, Konkani, Tulu and Shilpakala academies were appointed in phases after 2012.
The term of the KBA chairperson, Siddalingaiah, was extended twice and his term will end in the next two months. The term of Pradhan Gurudutt, chairperson of KBBP, will end shortly. M.A. Ponnappa was appointed chairperson of the Madhyama Academy in November 2012. Actor Tara was appointed as chairperson Karnataka Chalanachitra Academy in October 2012.
Chairperson of the Tulu Academy, Umanath A. Kotyan, resigned to contest the Assembly elections.
More funds
Though the BJP government had allocated more funds than the previous government to the Department of Kannada and Culture, it faced criticism for its alleged apathy in appointing chairpersons and members for various academies.
The delay in appointing the chairperson of the Kannada Sahitya Academy created discontentment in literary circles.
Though the term of M.H. Krishnaiah as the chairman of the Kannada Sahitya Academy ended in 2011, his successor has not been appointed yet.

Stain New Skim Coat Plaster Walls
jru5000October 24, 2011
I recently had a skim coat of veneer plaster done to my walls. The surface is beautiful to touch, almost feels like stone! I don't want to paint them and be left with a roller/brush texture on the surface. Is there a way to stain/white wash the plaster to: make the white color more uniform (i can see the areas of patching over seams etc).

Excerpted from Dataclysm by Christian Rudder. Copyright © 2014 by Christian Rudder. Excerpted by permission of Crown, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
1. What did you know about Big Data before reading this book? In what ways, if any, has your understanding of it changed?
2. Many companies use Big Data to tailor their products for certain consumer groups or to target them in advertising. How do you feel about your online data being used for these purposes?
3. Were you surprised by how much researchers can learn about us from our online interactions?
4. Sites like Tumblr have experimented with directing users who search for terms like "thigh gap" and "thinspiration" to information about eating disorder treatment. Do you think this intervention is effective? Are there other ways that Big Data can be used for social good?
5. Christian Rudder has said that he doesn't put anything online that he's not comfortable being public and available to anyone. Do you share the same mentality? Why or why not? Is your attitude different when it comes to your children's online activities?
6. If you're a social media user, how much do you think about self-branding? Do you only consider it in the context of potential employers and what they might glean about you online? Do you think consciously about presenting a certain image of yourself to friends? Or even strangers?
7. What makes the set of data Christian Rudder uses—collected from Facebook, Twitter, Google, OkCupid, and other online platforms—different from the massive data surveys conducted by Pew, Gallup, or the Kinsey Institute? Do you think it's more accurate? Why or why not?
8. Which of Christian Rudder's findings were you most surprised by and why?
9. In Dataclysm we learn that men tend to prefer young women; that attractive women get more attention, more job offers, even more friends; that parents tend to be concerned about their sons' intelligence and their daughters' beauty. Were you surprised to see how these and other stereotypes were upheld?
10. According to Rudder, Twitter (and other social media) may actually be improving the average person's writing skills. Do you agree with this analysis? Why or why not?
11. Dataclysm's findings suggest that about 5 percent of the US population is gay, lesbian, or bisexual—and that percentage is the same across the country, from California to Alabama. Does this surprise you? What implications might this kind of data have for social policy and political activity from state to state?
12. Mob mentality takes on a whole new meaning when it occurs online. What effect do you think this is having on our culture and social relationships? What did you think of the stories of Justine and Saffiyah?
13. In chapter 10, Rudder shares the most common and least common words used by white, black, Asian, and Latino men and women to describe themselves. Do you think it's helpful to see representations of these identities collected and analyzed in this way? Why or why not?
14. Rudder analyzes a massive amount of data in his book, but as he notes in the conclusion, today's investigations are only the tip of the iceberg. As this new social science matures, what questions would you like to see researchers tackle? What aspects of human behavior are you curious about?

DESIGN: Two old tire rims; twine, & something for the middle to suspend the trellis (conduit, plumbing pipe, metal or wood stakes). If possible, try drilling a hole through the pipe & inserting a dowel, or threaded steel to make it sturdy.

Crossroads officials wait for impact of health care overhaul
JR Ortega
June 28, 2012 at 1:28 a.m.
Updated June 29, 2012 at 1:29 a.m.
Dr. Sanjeev Bhatia, of Victoria, has no doubt - every American deserves the right to affordable health care.
But even the Supreme Court of the United States' landmark decision to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on Thursday had him scratching his head.
"There are some pluses and some minuses," said the internist at Crossroads Health Center on Laurent Street.
Some Crossroads area doctors and leaders seem to be in agreement - the idea is right, but transforming an idea into reality is sketchy.
Doctors, such as Bhatia and Dr. Stephen Hougen, a Victoria general surgeon, foresee concerns that will impact local clinics, specialist offices and hospitals.
Bhatia's biggest worry revolves around a significant increase in patient load, but not much of an increase in doctors being able to handle that load.
About 14,610 people in Victoria were uninsured in 2010, according to the Texas Medical Association report. The uninsured tend to be younger adults, people in poor health and families with income below 200 percent of the poverty level.
These are the people we will see flooding our area clinics and hospitals, they said.
"You'll need to have more providers," he said. "There will be a need for more doctors and more mid-level practitioners."
Hougen also feels no one should go without. Still, the two share the same concern.
"My main concern is that providing universal health insurance is not tantamount to receiving health care," Hougen said.
Already, patients see delays with insurance companies, so having more people flood into the system could cause longer waits, he said.
However, it's still premature to know exactly how everything will play out.
"Health care is too darn expensive," Hougen said. "You've got to credit Obama for trying."
The passage of the health care overhaul means great things for future graduates of the University of Houston-Victoria's school of nursing, said Kathyrn Tart, the program's founding dean.
"As a nurse, I want people to experience good health," she said. "That's critically important."
Already, the need for nurses is high, and that need will grow as more people gain access to health care, she said.
Graduates are ready to lead the charge and are taught to nurse people through promoting healthier lifestyle, as opposed to viewing health care as a commodity.
UHV graduates are ready to help with this shift in thinking, she said.
"It's going to be confusing in the beginning, but as time progresses, it will all fall into place."
Doctors who deal first-hand with patients aren't the only ones worried, even some of the area's leaders have their reservations.
"It's been upheld, so we have to deal with it," said Judge Don Pozzi, after learning of the early morning decision.
For Pozzi, there are portions of the 2,000-plus page act that he agrees with and portions he disagrees with. Yet, his biggest issue is the government's power to run every person's life, he said.
"I do not agree with it in its entirety," Pozzi said. "It is government interference in our private lives."
Pozzi remains confused of how the act will work once enacted in 2014.
Even media outlets CNN and Fox News jumped the gun and sparked confusion, announcing that the centerpiece mandate had been ruled unconstitutional. Minutes later, the outlets clarified that the act was constitutional under the taxing clause, but not under the commerce clause.
Confusion and loopholes like this have Pozzi wary of the measure.
"The ruling is very suspect," he said.
The landmark decision is good news, said William Blanchard, chief executing officer for DeTar Healthcare Systems.
Blanchard commended the justices' decision to make health care accessible to millions of uninsured Americans.
"We look forward to providing essential health services for more members of our community as coverage expands," Blanchard said.
He sees a brighter future for hospitals as well as patients because of the overhaul. DeTar provides emergency care regardless of ability to pay, he said.
The passage of this act will only ensure more people receiving these services and proper reimbursement to the hospitals for the services provided, he continued.
The measure also affects the mental health sector, said Don Polzin, Gulf Bend Center's executive director.
Polzin had hoped for the bill's passage all along.
"I don't want to see it repealed," Polzin said a day before the court's decision. Polzin was not available Thursday. "I think it's important. I support the intent of that legislation."
Mental health services could use the boost, he said, and a measure like this will only ensure those with mental illness receive the services they need.
Right now, about 50 percent of Gulf Bend's clients have no health coverage.
Even if the act hadn't passed, the mission to merge mental and primary health care would be of utmost importance.
Still, Polzin remains a realist about its passage.
"I know resources and finances are finite," he said.

There is nothing more romantic than a candlelight wedding. It gives an ambiance of forever love and the guests really enjoy them. The bride and groom get to share their vows in an atmosphere that is relaxed and filled with emotion. Planning a candlelight wedding is very simple if the planner knows what he is doing. Any lighted candles need to be arranged in a way that will not hinder the visibility of the ceremony but will allow ample lighting for photographs. When done right, candlelight weddings are timeless and elegant. In this article, you will learn the secrets to planning a candlelight wedding.
Planning a Candlelight Wedding
Beginning of Planning Process
A candlelight wedding may be beautiful, but it takes extensive planning, so you must decide early that you want one. Candlelight weddings are usually held inside, so the location administrators will have to be notified of your desire to use candles. You will need their approval to light candles inside the facility. Many churches make provisions for this.
Usually the best man and maid of honor are given the task of lighting the candles. For some weddings, the whole wedding party lights the candles before the entrance of the bride. For unity ceremonies, the task of lighting the candles may be given to the parents of the bride and groom.
The time of day that the wedding is taking place is an important aspect. Candlelight ceremonies are usually conducted at night or late afternoon, especially when the wedding takes place in a venue with lots of windows, because incoming sunlight takes away the magical effect of candlelight.
Placing the Candles
There are several creative ways you can place the candles for a candlelight wedding. In the front of the venue, where the service will be officiated, there will probably be a chandelier with candles already lit before the ceremony. On the end of the pews or row of seats, there can be candelabra that screw in at the end of the pew. Candelabra are also situated at the front of the location and in other various locations, such as windowsills and at the entrance of the room. Be sure not to place lighted candles around any loose fabrics and materials.
Finishing Touches
There will need to be several rehearsals for candlelight weddings. The coordinating parties need to be absolutely prepared for lighting the candles. There should also be provisions for a safety plan also. If you are unsure about any of this, the pastor or priest may be able to offer some guidance about conducting your candlelight wedding. Because of the danger of fire, the facility may already have provisions for how the wedding will have to be conducted.
The candles that are by the areas that people will be passing through shouldn't be lighted until the guests are seated. This will help avoid the possibility of lighted candles being knocked over or catching someone's clothes on fire. Make time provisions to make sure all of the guests are seated before the lighting of the candles. Depending of the size of the venue and the amount of candles, it takes time to light them all. Know then when planning the wedding and deciding how many candle lighters you will need.

Southampton's Victor Wanyama: "I can realize dreams here"
Aug 24, 2013, 8:13 AM EDT
Ahead of Southampton's first home game of the season against Sunderland on Saturday, (10am ET, watch live on NBCSN and online via NBC Sports Live Extra) bruising midfielder Victor Wanyama is certainly excited.
The 22-year-old Kenyan powerhouse swapped Celtic for the Saints over the summer in a $18 million deal, and hasn't looked back since.
Wanyama is relishing life in the Premier League, after impressing in the opening day win over West Brom.
"I like a physical challenge," Wanyama said. "But every week the Premier League will throw me a new challenge and that is to get better. It is the most competitive league and I'm excited about what I am getting into. I want to show I can make a big impact but not just by being physical."
The holding midfielder shone in the Champions League last year, scoring against Barcelona during Celtic's famous 2-1 win and putting in plenty of dominant displays.
(MORE: Watch Premier League on NBC Sports Live Extra – Week 2)
That experience on Europe's highest stage can help him prosper with the Saints, so says Wanyama.
"I think that by competing for Celtic in Europe against teams such as Barcelona, Benfica and Juventus I have shown there's more to my game than that."
Bringing in Wanyama was another major coup from Southampton's Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino. This summer Croatian international defender Dejan Lovren joined from Lyon, while Italian international striker Pablo Osvaldo arrived from Roma for a club record $22.5 million earlier this week.
While Wanyama is the new driving force in Saints' midfield, in a squad that all of a sudden looks incredibly strong.
"He has been great," Wanyama said of Pochettino. "I have only been here a short time but already he has taught me a lot. He is a good motivator but knows when to pick out details that can change your game. It's nice here. My motto is always to do better and if I didn't think I could achieve that I wouldn't have come. I have belief that I can realize dreams here."
