New Yorkers Embrace a Little Shanghai Specialty
By ERIC ASIMOV
Published: January 13, 1999
THEY go by more than a few names on Chinese menus: steamed tiny buns, juicy dumplings and crab-meat-and-pork soupy buns are just some of the terms for what the Chinese call xiao long bao, and for what Americans know as soup dumplings.
The soup dumpling is a Shanghai specialty, a flowery little packet of delicate dough twisted up at the top. It usually contains some combination of minced pork, shrimp or crab, and for a final touch, a spoonful of hot broth. Together, the flavors explode in the mouth, though even when nibbled expertly, it is hard to eat a soup dumpling without leaving a trace on your shirt.
Nonetheless, New Yorkers have fallen in love with the soup dumpling, which has led to the opening of dozens of Shanghai restaurants all over the city.
The embrace of the soup dumpling has been so overwhelming that some say it is distracting New Yorkers from truly appreciating the extent of the richly varied Shanghai cuisine, with its wonderful marinated cold appetizers and exceptional seafood dishes. But it has been good for the Chinese restaurant business.
''All day long, we stuff, stuff, stuff,'' said Joe Si, an owner of Joe's Shanghai, speaking of his soup dumplings. ''In Chinatown, so many American people come here. The American favorite is soupy buns.''
Mr. Si, who with his brother Peter Lam, opened the first Joe's Shanghai in Flushing, Queens, in 1995, has parlayed the soup dumpling into a thriving minichain, with branches in Chinatown and Elmhurst, Queens, and with a branch to open next month on West 56th Street in Manhattan. Joe's is not the only restaurant capitalizing on the craze.
Goody's, a long-established restaurant co-owned by Mr. Si's sister, Susan Chan, in Rego Park, Queens, recently opened another branch in Chinatown. Shanghai Tang opened last May in Flushing and is planning to open in midtown Manhattan this year. Evergreen Shanghai opened in Chinatown last summer and is planning to open an upscale Shanghai seafood restaurant on East 38th Street in Manhattan in the coming months. Helen Hsu, whose husband owned Say Eng Look, perhaps the most famous of the old Chinese restaurants before it closed in 1996, recently opened a Shanghai restaurant, New Green Bo, on Bayard Street in Chinatown.
What's more, at least half a dozen other Shanghai restaurants opened in Chinatown in 1998, and many Chinese restaurants are adding Shanghai specialties like the soup dumpling to their menus.
''A lot of American people like xiao long bao very much,'' said Wing Nin Chan, the owner of Shanghai Tang, marveling at this unexpected attachment.
Curiously, this is not the first exposure that Americans have had to Shanghai cooking, not by a long shot. The first non-Cantonese Chinese restaurant in New York, says Michael Tong, the owner of Shun Lee Palace and Shun Lee West, both in Manhattan, was a Shanghai restaurant that opened in 1949. Many more opened on Broadway above 100th Street. ''In those days, if you were not from Canton, you couldn't find a space in Chinatown,'' Mr. Tong said.
Later, Shanghai restaurants opened in the Chinatown area, mostly east of Chatham Square. ''There've been Shanghai restaurants all along,'' said Leonard Lopate, the host of ''New York and Company'' on WNYC-AM, who has lived in the Chinatown area for 30 years. ''They just weren't brilliant.''
As good as the soup dumpling has been for business, its success hasn't made every Chinese restaurateur entirely happy. Mr. Tong, for one, fears that the focus on the dumpling, a common breakfast food in Shanghai, causes people to ignore other Shanghai specialties.
''If you go into some of these restaurants in Chinatown, you can have the juicy dumplings, but the rest of the food is not so great,'' he said. ''Many Caucasian people don't really understand what Shanghai cooking is.''
Like the cosmopolitan city of Shanghai, a center of style and commerce that draws its population from all over China, the cooking of Shanghai is a distinctive blend of Chinese regional cuisines. As one of the first Chinese cities to open to the Western world in the mid-19th century, Shanghai was also heavily influenced by Europe and the United States.
''Shanghai is the only city in China where wheat flour has always been a very important component in people's diets,'' said Wangshang Li, who was born in Hangzhou, outside Shanghai, and is the director of legal services at the New York Association for New Americans. ''One would think it's very odd, but it's the Western influence.''
Situated in a region of plenty, Shanghai is blessed with a wonderful climate and vast fertile fields full of rice, vegetables and fruit. The surrounding lakes, rivers and sea are rich with all manner of fresh and saltwater seafood, and the region is known for the exceptional quality of its soy sauce, vinegar and rice wine. Shanghai chefs typically add a touch of sweetness to their dishes and are gentle with spices and seasonings.
''Eastern China is nicknamed the Land of Fish and Rice,'' said Nina Simonds, a cookbook author and an authority on Chinese cooking. ''You find that the seasonings are rather light, and they accentuate the flavor of the ingredient. The emphasis is really on the ingredient.''

itwbennett writes "In an unprecedented move, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI have been issued a temporary restraining order that will allow the FBI and the US Marshal for the District of Connecticut to set up servers at the Internet Systems Consortium or other ISPs that would stop infected computers from continuing to spread the Coreflood virus, according to court records. This week, the DOJ and FBI seized five servers that controlled Coreflood-infected computers, the DOJ said in a press release. The agencies also seized 29 domain names used by the Coreflood botnet to communicate with the servers."

WILLIAMSON - A Beckley resident and a Williamson man were recently arrested after warrants were obtained against them for a number of charges including extortion.
Christopher Allen Cline, 42, of Logan Street in Williamson, and Damien Angel Bagut, 34, of Woodlawn Avenue in Beckley, are accused of two counts of each of extortion or attempted extortion, attempts, conspiracy, obstructing an officer and receiving or transferring stolen goods. Bagut was also charged with one count of petit larceny.
According to the criminal complaints filed in Mingo County Magistrate Court by Williamson Patrolmen J.L. Marcum and J.D. Tincher, Bagut stole an IPhone 5 (valued at $699.99) from Steven Vaughn of Williamson, at the 7-11 convenience store on Harvey Street in Williamson. He then allegedly was contacted by Vaughn, as well as his parents, Goldie and Darrell Stevens, who informed Bagut that the cellphone belonged to the victim and that it needed to be returned immediately. Bagut and Cline then attempted to extort money from Vaughn in return for his phone, saying they would not give it back without receiving $100 in return, according to the complaits.
The owner refused and Cline and Bagut then allegedly attempted to extort money from the Stevens, but they also were adamant they were not paying for property that already belonged to their son. At this point, officers with the Williamson Police Department were called in to investigate the crime.
The two defendants were confronted by police, who asked them questions about the alleged theft. Cline and Bagut denied any knowledge of the crime and said they were not involved. Video surveillance from the crime scene, however, reportedly told a different story.
When the tapes were viewed, it was allegedly clear that Bagut had stolen the phone and had concealed it under his jacket as he left the store along with Cline. Cline was also allegedly seen on surveillance footage speaking to Vaughn about paying money to get the IPhone back. Officers later reportedly learned that Cline had taken the phone into Kentucky, where he sold it to Ronnie Kinser of Stone, Ky., for $75 cash.
After finding photos and contact numbers of the phone, Kinser became suspicious that the merchandise was stolen and quickly returned it to the proper owner after making contact with him. Vaughn gave Kinser a $50 reward as a thank-you for doing the right thing.
Bagut was taken into custody on April 18 and was arraigned by Magistrate Dee Sidebottom. Cline was informed there was a warrant for his arrest and turned himself in on April 21. Both defendants were released from custody after posting bail. Bagut and Cline are scheduled to return to magistrate court next week for their preliminary hearings.

My wife Kathy and I were married on February 17, 1990. During our sacramental celebration we expressed to one another and to the congregation our "eight be-attitudes of marriage."
What really makes a marriage work? Marriage is far too complex for one simple answer or secret. For us the following eight be-attitudes express the features of a good marriage.
Oldham County touches Indiana. As such we in Oldham County, through news sources both local and national know that Indiana recently passed a "Religious Freedom Restoration Act."
When we come to those challenging times that we feel like abandoning our ideals, giving up the struggle and quitting life, it is a stimulating experience to ask ourselves some very important questions, such as: Can good be defeated by evil? In view of the change that is coming to my life, is anything left for me? Am I a completely paralyzed person? Is there something I can do? Should I just fold my hands and suffer patiently?
Since I moved to LaGrange in 1997 I have joined with a group of pastors to pray for a spiritual revival for our county. We have not prayed for any one church in particular, or just our churches, but for all the churches of the county. I have seen many positive things happen over those years. Average household income has gone up, many projects have enhanced the quality of life and many people have tried hard to be strong community citizens, and our schools continue to be a bright and shining example of excellent public schools.
Identity theft
The recent mailing from the Oldham Chamber & Economic Development was a petition postcard to be printed and signed complete with birth date and Social Security number.
This (these) cards could either be mailed or deposited in an Oldham County Library.
Considering the current problems with identity theft, one thing we should absolutely never do is to put such private information in a public location.
From the text on the card, this mailing apparently went to every registered voter in Oldham County.
Last week, my daughter and I, along with one of her friends, went to Ireland for spring break. Every Dubliner who learned we chose Ireland over sunshine and beaches thought we were crazy.
"Why of all the places in the world, did ya' choose Ireland?"
"Ireland is gray and rainy, love. You should have gone to Florida."
"Did ya' lose a bet, did ye?"
Regardless of whether the members of this community call themselves pro-choice or pro-life, all women—who face greater risk than ever to their lives during pregnancy—deserve to have immediate access to medically accurate information about their reproductive health.

Comments (4)
Hi Erin,
I am pretty much in your same position my husband and I have been married for 6 years and have been trying to conceive for 4yrs. I have two kids 15 and 13, I am 36 and my husband is 38 but he does not have kids and take care of my boys as if they are his own. I really want to have a child with him and experience pregnancy at a more mature age. I been so stressed and have never joined a forum board before always read other people post. I need to communicate with people who feel my pain.
95% of my posts are made from my iphone and often while multitasking so there are going to be errors and I rarely proofread--sorry.
I'm 37, we've been married 17 years, our youngest is almost 11 and we're TTC. If we hit the jackpot I know our families are going to think we're insane. Bring it on! We're even praying for multiples.

OK, I LOVE movies. Whether DVD, Blu-Ray, or VHS, my apartment is littered with movies. But some of the most successful movie franchises of all time have managed to completely escape me. Here are four movie franchises I've never seen a single movie from, and don't intend to:
If you're one of the millions of people who saw Gatsby this weekend, you will enjoy this!
This weekend, Jack the Giant Slayer made giant news for being a, well… "Giant" disappointment. While racking Warner Bros. up a lofty $200,000,000+ price tag, the film made just north of $28,000,000 in its opening weekend. The t
In a just world, these would be the nominees for best picture!
While I was on vacation and visiting with my friend Jerry in Pennsylvania we wanted to see a movie and had a hard time figuring out what to see. Nothing looked very good to us, we ultimately decided onLincoln,but wound up getting up and leaving halfway through because we didn't like it
Ever since I admitted on the air to Ryan O'Bryan a few days ago that I hadn't really seen any kids' movies since the turn of the millennium, I have been getting a whole lot of grief from friends, family, and listeners wondering what is wrong with me. While that answer may be somewhat lengthy, the answer to why I haven't seen any kids' movies is pretty simple… I don't have any kids. I don't think there's anything wrong with grown-ups watching kids' movies, but typically the ones giving me grief do have kids, so of course you've seen Finding Nemo. 29-year-old single dudes like me don't rush out to buy or rent Up when it hits stores… We are first in line for Bat Man though.
This morning, I was mourning the fact that I really want to see "Wreck it Ralph" but am no longer a child. Furthermore, I have no children to take to see it as an excuse to actually see it for myself

From the Publisher"It is an easy-to carry size and has clear print and particularly important, clear writing. The text includes many good charts and graphics that could come in handy as examples to be used in classes, especially high-level graduate classes in statistics or research methods. … Most doctoral students should have a copy of Lance and Vandenberg before they set words to paper in their dissertation proposals … The information in the many chapters can be very important in considering results and especially in considering limitations. It can serve as a rich source of primary articles and coherent discussion of many important topics." - Malcolm James Ree, Professor of Leadership, Our Lady of the Lake University, Texas, in Personnel Psychology
"Owning a copy of this book is essential for any researcher interested in issues regarding statistics and methods. It is beneficial as well for instructors." – Stephen A. Truhon, PsycCritiques
"The chapters in this book address topics with which every researcher has grappled with such as missing data, tests of moderating and mediating effects, dependence on self report data, and the importance of the sample of respondents available. With the increased interest and use of qualitative research, this volume should also be of wide interest. The book's chapters promise to be standard citations in research papers for many years to come. Students are likely to find this book invaluable as they begin research careers. More experienced researchers will likely relate to these chapters as well, since they will have experienced the frustration associated with many of these problems firsthand." -Neal Schmitt,Chair, Michigan State University
"Misconceptions about methods are all too common in the organizational and social sciences and they impede research progress. Until now, researchers lacked a comprehensive guidebook that separates fact from fiction regarding appropriate methodological choices. Drawing on a world class team of authors, Lance and Vandenberg close the gap between 'what we know' and 'what we need to know' about missing data, factor analysis, moderation, mediation, structural equation modeling, sampling and many other essential methodological issues." -Dave Ketchen, Lowder Eminent Scholas and Professor of Management, Auburn University
"For every management researcher, this is a GREAT book. The chapters improve one's technical skills but also explain the many, many details that one always wanted to know. I recommend this book for all researchers and graduate and doctoral students. It's as close to a 'must have' as there can be." -Tom Lee, Michael G. Foster School of Business, University of Washington

Q: Dear Dr. Craig,
I recently viewed your defense of the Kalam Cosmological Argument video at the Baylor University Alvin Plantinga conference, and I was intrigued by the new grim reaper argument against an infinite series of causal events. I've searched throughout the web and have found very little on this argument. I was wondering what exactly your thoughts were on this argument and if you will be adding it to your repertoire of arguments against an eternal series of causal events. Thanks for your tireless work, and I pray that the lord blesses your ministry as it has infinitely blessed my life.

Just Kidding! Facebook Advice From Our Humorist in Residence
Our writer Sarah Schmelling offers a funny perspective in her new Parents magazine column, "Just Kidding!"
Q: Lately, I'm being "unfriended" by other moms on Facebook on a daily basis. I don't understand it because it seems that, unlike most of them, I have a really good handle on being a mom to my three kids. In fact, I actually find it easy! So I'm always sharing tips and my two cents on what's worked really well for me. Not to mention all the photos I post of my amazing food, like the mozzarella I made by hand from milk delivered to my door by Amish buggy. Why wouldn't they want to learn to be more like me?
A: Sorry, I didn't finish reading your letter—I was too busy unfriending you.

For all of us, a major part of our childhood was spent watching cartoons like Scooby Doo, Tom n Jerry. We sat glued to the television after school, little did we know that we watched ads and subconsciously learnt them. Even today when we hear the names like Uma, Rekha, Jaya in one sentence the immediate association is the Nirma ad.
This week All India Bakchod has come out with a video which is a 'Tribute to Indian ads'. It is a video without any background score featuring Voctronica, an a capella and beat boxing group. AIB is one of India's noteworthy comedy groups which often does sketches on Youtube and also stand up comedy.This video is a mashup of all ads we have grown up watching right from Uncle Chips to Lifebuoy and Badshah Masala to Action shoes. The 3 minute video leaves you with a sense of nostalgia. These ads made us listen to them due to their catchy tunes, while today we just mute our TVs when advertisements begin.
AIB has earlier done a number of videos which have been satirical takes on issues like Section 377, ban on pornography in India and many more. Subscribe to their channel on Youtube for more fun videos like this.

By Alan Scherstuhl
A brief prologue depicts the hero's tragic origins: his pregnant mother was gruesomely attacked by an undead fiend, so baby Blade grows up to be Wesley the Vampire Slayer, torn between his altruistic and bloodsucking natures. Then we leap forward to the present day, to a nameless city of tech-noir gloom, where a young man is lured into a vampire-sponsored nightclub, featuring the very latest in recherché Downtown entertainment: carcasses of indeterminate species hanging from meat hooks, an overhead sprinkler system that drenches the crowd with blood, and clubgoers having sex right in front of everybody. Like, they're so undead they don't even care about conventional morality. Our hapless victim is too besotted with his hostess (Traci Lords, looking very fit) to notice his predators, but Blade comes to the rescue, armed to the pointy teeth with weapons custom-made by his human helper (undead actor Kris Kristofferson, in a luxuriant gray wig).
Thus, in this sequence alone, Blade manages to include at least 50 identically revolting shots of staked and machine-gunned bloodsuckers, who rot, burn, or disintegrate before our eyes. And there's more to come: dissections, beheadings, reanimated corpses, giant syringes stuck into human necks, and a smelly Jabba the Hutsized vampire librarian. Children of the night, what disgusting movies they make.
Blade may not be for the faint of heart, but it's sure to please those who adore lots of complicated, contradictory back story (vampire overlords, a mysterious "Blood God," and an ancient, supposedly undecipherable sacred text that can be swiftly translated via Windows 95). Though Snipes makes a fine martial artist, he spends much of the movie hidden behind dark glasses and layers of body armor, and he turns in a rather muted, humorless performance. As the villain, a snotty little upstart vampire, Stephen Dorffastoundingly unlikable even under the best of circumstancesbrings his most odious qualities to bear in what might be described as a very committed performance. When he menaces the kidnapped heroine, an impossible-to-gross-out hematologist played by N'Bushe Wright, his sexually charged threats sound like they were written in a junior high school study hall: "What's the matter? You seem kind of... pent up. Blade not... giving it to you?" You can't blame her when she responds with a blasé "Bite me."

Latest IceCube Neutrino Observatory Stories
All the way from the South Pole, new research results from the Niels Bohr Institute have opened the world's eyes about neutrinos—a type of particle that passes through everything in our universe—by calculating the physical properties of these exotic yet forgotten particles.
The giant black hole at the center of the Milky Way may be producing mysterious particles called neutrinos. If confirmed, this would be the first time that scientists have traced neutrinos back to a black hole.
We use our smartphones for a myriad of things, from normal phone activities to finding constellations in the night's sky. And soon, your smartphone could be used to detect cosmic rays, much like the high-end, multimillion-dollar observatories.
NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) has chosen a team at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, to build its first Earth science-related CubeSat mission.
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb.
Scientists at a massive underground particle detector in Antarctica called the IceCube South Pole Neutrino Observatory have detected high-energy neutrinos, ideal for the future of "extreme astronomy" because they can be used to detect the sources of cosmic rays and provide information about our universe's most violent and least-understood phenomena.
Astronomers working with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica have announced that they have, for the first time, observed 28 very high-energy particle events, leading them to conclude that "the era of neutrino astronomy has begun."
Streaming across the Universe are high-energy charged particles, known as cosmic rays. For more than their origins have remained a mystery.
A new observatory has begun formal operations in Mexico. The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Gamma Ray Observatory is designed to study the origin of very high-energy cosmic rays and observe the most energetic objects in the known universe.
Within the heart of exploding stars, sparse halos of neutrinos exert a previously unrecognized influence on the physics of the explosion and may alter which elements can be forged by these violent events.
Latest IceCube Neutrino Observatory Reference Libraries
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a neutrino telescope that is currently being built at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. IceCube is being constructed in deep Antarctic ice by deploying thousands of PMTs (photomultiplier tubes) at depths of 4750 to 8000 feet. These spherical optical sensors are deployed on strings of sixty modules each, into holes melted by hot water drilling. Since 2005, 59 strings have been deployed and installation is expected to be complete by 2011. The strings are...

I have a couple of Cingular 8125s. I tried to update the ROM in one of them to WM6 and had it lock up with a fully charged battery at 99%. When I tried to reflash it back to stock, it says it took the flash, but will not hard reset or even finish booting. When I try to do a hard reset, I get a "Format is Failed" error message. I have tried backing up the other phone to a miniSD card and boot the bricked phone. I have also tried repeatedly to reflash the stock ROM. It can go to boot mode, so I know recovery is possible. Nothing I have tried works. Before I start ripping this phone apart, anybody got any ideas on how to recover this phone?

Woods will not participate in any other tournaments for the rest of 2009 and plans to return to action next year.
The golf star's absence at the tournament continues days of silence for Woods, who has stayed mum since plowing his SUV into a tree on his Florida property early Friday morning.
Despite inviting investigators to speak with him three times and then backing out, Woods has not made a statement to police, and his lawyer indicated to ABC News that he likely never would.
Sunday, Woods broke his silence about the SUV accident, issuing a statement calling the incident "a private matter."
The Florida Highway Patrol released a statement Monday saying that Woods has provided investigators with only his driver's license information, vehicle registration and current proof of insurance.
"The crash investigation is ongoing and charges are pending," according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Woods' lawyer, Mark NeJame, told ABC News Sunday, "We stand by his [Woods'] previously released statement, regarding his privacy," and said neither he nor Woods would be making comments to anybody, including, in Woods' case, the police.
Brennan said that regardless of what comes of the accident, it's unlikely Woods' relatively pristine public image would be badly tarnished.
"Obviously, Tiger Woods and his people are very controlled, very disciplined -- he's possibly the most disciplined athlete on the planet," Brennan said. "I don't think he has anything to worry about with the current endorsers. [But] I don't know that others will be jumping on the bandwagon this week. .... My sense is that Tiger will be just fine in the long run."
Sunday the Florida Highway Patrol released audio of a 911 call by a neighbor reporting the accident and said that for the third time, Woods refused to talk with officers.
"Just after 1 p.m., lawyer Mark NeJame contacted the Florida Highway Patrol to inform us that he is representing Tiger Woods," read a statement from highway patrol spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Montes. "NeJame stated that the interview that was scheduled for today has been canceled. ... The traffic crash remains under investigation and charges are pending."
Investigators previously were turned away at Woods' Orange County, Fla., home both Friday and Saturday.
If Woods, 33, and his wife, Elin Nordegren, 29, choose to say nothing, officials simply may proceed with the investigation without their statement.
Woods and his wife are not required to give a statement to police about the accident, but if either does it must be truthful, Florida legal experts said. If not, they added, there is a slim chance they could be charged with resisting arrest without violence, a misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Rather than speaking to police, Woods appealed directly to the public on his TigerWoods.com home page.
"As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore," his statement said.
"This situation is my fault," it continued, "and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again. This is a private matter, and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible. "

Apple posts holiday Get a Mac ad
updated 06:15 pm EST, Thu December 13, 2007
Holiday Get a Mac ad
Apple today posted a new 'Get a Mac' TV spot on its website depicting animated characters singing 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town.' Animated versions of 'Mac' Justing Long and 'PC' John Hodgman accompany Santa Claus as they proceed to sing the classic Christmas tune. Partway through the song, however, 'PC' decides to interject his own lyrics about purchasing a PC rather than a Mac this holiday season. 'Mac' and Santa both express dissatisfaction with the lyrical changes, and Apple finishes the spot with a few snowflakes falling in front of an iMac.
Apple last Friday unveiled another 'Get a Mac' ad titled 'Now What.' That spot features Hodgman as he reveals a new book titled 'I want to buy a computer, now what?" Long seems surprised about the prospect that purchasing computers is filled with questions and choices, as 'PC' suggests. Following the introduction of his first book 'PC' produces a second companion book titled 'I just bought a computer, now what?'

Triarc Companies, Inc. reports fourth quarter and year-end results; Year-end charges mark end of evolutionary phase; Arby's and Royal Crown continue sales growth; National Propane files initial public offering.
Triarc previously announced that it will sell its Graniteville textile operation to Avondale Incorporated for $255 million in cash and expects to close this sale during the second quarter. In addition, Triarc announced earlier this week that its National Propane Corporation subsidiary has formed a master limited partnership (MLP) which has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public offering. National Propane Corporation will be the general partner of the MLP and retain an approximate 48% interest in the partnership. The MLP is also expected to issue approximately $120 million of long-term senior secured debt. The partnership intends to use a substantial portion of the net proceeds of this offering to repay existing debt and to make certain payments and advances, aggregating approximately $110 million, to Triarc. The completion of these two transactions and the repayment of Graniteville's indebtedness will provide Triarc with cash in excess of $135 million and substantially reduce debt.
Operations at both National Propane and Graniteville were adversely affected by a series of cyclical and one time events in 1995. These included the second warmest (1994-1995) winter ever recorded, which had a negative effect on the propane business, and a combination of record high cotton prices and a cyclical downturn in the textile industry, which adversely impacted the results of Graniteville.
Year-End Charges
Triarc recorded $27 million of charges, primarily non-cash, in the fourth quarter. Included in these charges was $14.6 million ($8.9 million after tax or $.30 per share) for the early adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets"). Also included was a charge of $7.8 million ($4.9 million after tax or $.16 per share) representing equity in losses and write-offs of investments and loans to affiliated companies. Adoption of SFAS No. 121 is required by the first quarter of 1996. The adoption of this standard, which requires the company to consider the potential impairment in the value of long-lived assets, will provide a non-cash benefit in future years from reduced depreciation and amortization.
The company further incurred $15 million of pretax losses with respect to the end of its evolutionary phase. The majority of these losses reflect severance and relocation costs and other related expenditures. These charges, coupled with a fourth quarter increase in the company's tax reserves of $7 million ($.24 per share) for various matters associated with the years 1989-1992, contributed to the loss from continuing operations of $38.9 million, or $1.30 per share, for the fourth quarter and a loss of $37.0 million, or $1.24 per share, for the 1995 fiscal year. This compares to a loss of $6.4 million, or $.33 per share, for last year's fourth quarter and a loss of $2.1 million, or $.34 per share, for fiscal 1994.
Operating Results
After reflecting a majority of the above mentioned charges, Triarc's reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $104.6 million on revenues of $1.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared with EBITDA of $113.9 million on revenues of $1.1 billion for the prior-year period. For the fourth quarter, after these charges, EBITDA of $16.1 million was achieved on revenues of $315.1 million compared with EBITDA of $26.3 million on revenues of $268.9 million for the 1994 fourth quarter.
Nelson Peltz, chairman and chief executive officer, said, "We have completed a very complicated year and, for the most part, the evolutionary phase of shaping our company is behind us. We are now about creating equity value in our consumer brands. We have a very promising beginning in 1996 and look forward to improved results for our restaurant and beverage businesses. Our new structure at National Propane should serve us well in the coming years."
Segment Results
Triarc's restaurant unit, Arby's, reported EBITDA of $3.0 million for the quarter and $24.1 million for the year on revenues of $74.4 million and $272.7 million, respectively. This compares with EBITDA of $5.1 million on revenues of $60.7 million for last year's fourth quarter and EBITDA of $27.0 million on revenues of $223.2 million for the 1994 year. Charges relating to the impairment write-down under SFAS No. 121 and other evolutionary events had a major adverse effect on the profitability of Arby's. Without these charges, the unit would have reported EBITDA for the year of $30.0 million or an approximate 11% increase over the prior year. Systemwide comparable store sales were up approximately 1% for the full year.
The 1995 revenue increase primarily reflects the addition of 85 new company-owned stores during the year bringing the total to 373 at December 31, many of which came into the system during the second half of 1995. Profit margins were adversely affected, however, by costs associated with replacing point-of-sale register systems in all domestic company-owned restaurants and start-up costs associated with the significantly higher number of new restaurant openings. The costs associated with the development of both the Roast Town and co-branding strategies and the additional personnel necessary to ensure the proper execution of these concepts, and to facilitate growth plans, also adversely affected earnings during the quarter and year. These costs, as a percentage of total administration costs, should diminish in future periods. Additionally, Arby's results in 1995 were adversely affected by a provision of $2.1 million for the closing of certain unprofitable restaurants.
Arby's has embarked on a program of upgrading many of its units to the Roast Town fast-casual concept and to co-branding its system with two concepts: P.T. Noodles, a pasta menu and ZuZu, a wholesome handmade Mexican food concept. This co-branding program will significantly add sales volume to Arby's, while their implementation will be significantly less than the cost of building new units. Arby's also previously announced that it has entered into an agreement in principle to purchase the T.J. Cinnamons brand, which specializes in gourmet cinnamon rolls and related products. It will begin offering T.J. Cinnamons products as a breakfast, dessert and snack line of products throughout its system in the near future.
"The 22% sales growth for Arby's is a direct result of new store openings, primarily in the second half, and increased store volumes experienced through the revitalization of our brand," said Peter May, president and chief operating officer of Triarc. Six new Roast Town restaurants, an upscale concept from Arby's that broadens the menu to include roasted meats, enticing side dishes and fresh baked bread, and creates a fast-casual dining experience, were added during the fourth quarter in the Toledo, Ohio, market. These units have been experiencing average unit volumes in excess of $1 million on an annualized basis. Two additional Roast Town restaurants were opened in Toledo during the first quarter of 1996. Four of these Toledo stores will be co-branded with the P.T. Noodles concept in May and one will also introduce the T.J. Cinnamons product line.
EBITDA for Royal Crown, Triarc's carbonated soft drink company, was a loss of $1.2 million for the quarter and a profit of $8.7 million for the year. Revenues were $36.2 million for the quarter and $172.6 million for the year. This compared with EBITDA and revenues of $3.9 million and $35.0 million, respectively, for the 1994 quarter and $21.0 million and $150.7 million, respectively, for the full year 1994. The 15% growth in revenues for the year, was primarily due to finished soft drink product sales of C&C, which trademark and distribution rights were acquired by Royal Crown in January, 1995, and the summer launch of Royal Crown Draft Premium Cola, together with some growth in branded concentrate sales. However, this growth was impeded by higher packaging costs experienced by our bottlers early in the year. Royal Crown's earnings were negatively impacted by lower volumes of private label concentrate sold to Cott Corporation and the costs associated with the introduction of Draft Cola. Royal Crown is the exclusive cola supplier to Cott.
Total branded concentrate volume for the full year increased 5% compared with the prior year, led by an increase of 25% in the international marketplace. The growth in the international segment is a result of Royal Crown's expansion in Brazil, Israel and the Baltics/Ukraine. This increase in branded volume came despite a significant volume shortfall in Los Angeles caused by the financial difficulties of the independent Royal Crown bottler in that market. Royal Crown had a strong fourth quarter for its Diet Rite flavors, a trend that has continued into 1996.
During the year, Kick, the company's "hardcore psycho nitro" citrus flavored soft drink, grew by a factor of almost three times to a volume of over six million cases as more and more of Royal Crown's bottlers introduced the brand.
Advertising and marketing expenses increased $8.0 million year over year to $86.2 million in 1995 from $78.2 million. Advertising for the launch of Royal Crown Draft Cola in the New York and Los Angeles markets, which did not translate into an adequate market return, accounted for the majority of this increase. For 1996, we remain optimistic as new launches for Royal Crown Draft Cola have reached an additional 50 new markets with a new marketing program geared to sampling and trial for gaining consumer acceptance.
For 1996 Royal Crown has redirected its marketing spending to enable it to directly support and encourage those bottlers that produce the best results. By focusing its marketing dollars on regional programs aimed at its most successful markets, Royal Crown hopes to increase its own profitability accordingly. At the same time, the company continues to work together with its independent bottlers to strengthen the overall system.
Triarc's premium beverage unit, Mistic, was acquired on August 9, 1995. EBITDA for Mistic was $1.5 million for the fourth quarter and $6.4 million since acquisition on revenues of $19.1 million and $41.9 million, respectively. Mistic has completely revitalized its product line and its marketing and distribution programs over the last portion of 1995 and into the beginning of 1996 and now has a whole new look. Among the new products is the new line of Tropical Coolers -- Pina Colada, Strawberry Colada, Peach Beach and Papaya Paradise. Also, a new line of Breeze products offered in a 20oz. PET container with a sports cap has been introduced.
EBITDA for National Propane, Triarc's liquefied petroleum distribution unit, was $25.2 million on revenues of $149.0 million for the 1995 fiscal year. For the comparable period last year, EBITDA was $28.8 million on revenues of $151.7 million.
EBITDA for Graniteville, Triarc's textile unit, was $4.2 million for the quarter and $39.7 million for the full year on revenues of $138.9 million for the quarter and $547.9 million for the year. For the comparable periods last year EBITDA was $12.3 million for the quarter and $48.5 million for the full year on revenues of $129.8 million for the quarter and $536.9 million for the year.
C.H. Patrick, Graniteville's specialty chemicals and dyes producer, continues to contribute significantly to the profitability of the company. C.H. Patrick will not be involved in the sale of Graniteville, and will remain a subsidiary of Triarc. As a part of the proposed sale of Graniteville referred to above, Avondale and C.H. Patrick will enter into a long-term agreement pursuant to which Patrick will supply dyes and chemicals to the combined Avondale/Graniteville business. With annual sales of more than $1 billion, Triarc Companies is engaged in four core businesses: restaurants (Arby's), beverages (Royal Crown Company and Mistic Brands), textiles (Graniteville and C.H. Patrick) and liquefied petroleum gas (National Propane).

29 November 2013 22:59 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--European methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) prices edged down this week, pressured by lower gasoline values and a weaker MTBE factor level, sources said on Friday.
The factor over Eurobob gasoline cash barges fell to 1.10, down from 1.11-1.13 last week.
With the factor remaining at historically low levels, sources thought this ought to encourage buyers into the market.
The low MTBE prices have failed to ignite any buying interest in the spot market, however, with only four deals reported taking place this week.
With gasoline demand also low, MTBE producers note that interest from blenders remains lacklustre.
While MTBE prices remain at low levels, one trader suggested that buyers may soon step into the spot market.
MTBE values were at $1,036/tonne (€767/tonne) FOB (free on board) AR (Amsterdam-Rotterdam) at the close of business on Friday, down from $9-39/tonne last week.
($1 = €0.74)

Yemen Elite Forces Clash With Armored Division Loyal to Al-Ahmar
Aug. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Yemen's elite Republican Guard forces loyal to President Ali Abdullah Saleh clashed today with members of the defected First Armored Division, killing at least one civilian, a local resident said.
The clashes took place in Shamlan in northwestern Sana'a, the capital, Majed Mahyoub said in a telephone interview today.
It is the first time the Republican Guard has engaged in direct confrontation with the First Armored Division since their commander Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar defected in March to support anti-government protests calling for Saleh's resignation.

On Did Your Parents Lie About Your Age To Get Lower Ticket Prices, And Did That Scar You For Life?
My mom and aunt (single mothers) definitely did this with us kids, especially when we all rode the public bus together for family outings. We kids all knew the score, but we also knew the alternative - if we spoke up, we were out a fun experience (like a trip to the beach or dinner at the local buffet) because we really did need that little bit of financial leeway to make it happen, so we all dutifully played along. No regrets.
On Screwing Myself With The Credit Card I Swore I'd Pay Off Every Month
My experience with Capital One has been: if you're usually good about your payments, but forget every once in a while, just give them a ring and ask if they can waive the $25 fee. They almost always do. So weigh another phone call to the bank vs. that $25, I guess, but know that you will probably be able to get it removed if you just ask.
On How Much Do You Spend on Transportation Each Month?
I live in the Bay Area. Generally, I either walk or take public transit, but my partner and I have a truck, too, which is used for his commute, errands, and other travel (mostly to visit fam). Together our transport costs add up to ~$600/month. It breaks down like so: ~$130 for public transit (specifically BART, which does not offer a monthly pass) ~$250 for truck payment (almost paid off though!) ~$90 for insurance ~120 for gas We don't pay for parking, except when we forget it's a street sweeping day and then we pay a ~$60 ticket, but that usually only happens 2-3 times/year.
On Things I Did And Did Not Do In Sephora Yesterday
This post is a glorious thing.
On Let's Not Lose All Our Teeth
...and now I've just made my first non-emergency dentist appointment in, like, 4 years. This should be... fun.
On Talking About Talking About Depression
Thanks for this!
On How Do You Answer, How Much Do You Make?
I'm pretty open about how much I make, which is maybe easier because it's a wage? I dunno, it's just that part of me wants all wage earners to put that shit out there, so we can discuss the crazy discrepancy between what the minimum wage is technically and what wage workers are actually making/need to make to survive. Like, for instance, minimum wage in the city I work in is ~$10.20/hr... but I make $16/hr - and even with that, cannot afford to live in the city I work in. There's something off about that!
On The First Hour of Your Work Day
I work in retail, with two different shift options, opening and close. If I have an opening shift: I wake at 7:23am (ha, for real), shower/drink a coffee/pack my lunch, and then make a mad dash out the door to catch an early enough train to roll into work around 9am. I spend the train ride actually waking up, usually with a podcast. Once there, I grab restock from our storage, do a quick sweep/mop of the store itself, load all the register programs, check/answer urgent emails, make any necessary phone calls, and count the drawer. Then I sit down and plan my day with a check-box list. By 10am, I have a plan for the day and the doors wide open, ready for people to start getting their buy on. If I close, I don't have to be in to work until noon, so I take my time in the morning to do chores, like dishes or laundry, and spend my commute planning my day and checking my work email. By the time I get in, I know what I have to do and can get straight to it (unless it's busy, then I deal with the customers first, obviously).
On Navigating Student Loan System Quick, Easy (Or, The Opposite of That)
Ugh, Granite just bought my fed loans, too. Pain in the ass, to the max, already. I might cry if they eff with my IBR.
On Sir, You Cannot Sit Next to These Children
This reminds me of my first flight (with Southwest? Delta?): it was unaccompanied, I was ten, and after being dog-tagged by the stewardess as a "child alone", I was sat next to a man in a business suit. This is what happened during that flight: He ordered a scotch. Once his drink came, he glanced at me and told me know he was TERRIFIED of flying. THEN he downed his drink really fast and kept his eye closed the rest of the flight.

Cracking the code to pre-hospital pediatric care- The single most common cause of anxiety-provoked tachycardia in pre-hospital care is the mere thought of a pediatric call. In EMS departments across this country the fear of treating a sick child is equally pervasive amongst experienced and inexperienced providers. | By Carolina Fire Rescue EMS Journal 7/15/14
Comparison of a hybrid pediatric weight estimation method (Handtevy™) to the Broselow™ length based tape- Predicted weights from the Handtevy™ age-based weight estimation method accurately predict pediatric normal weights. A comparison of two length-based tapes demonstrates increased accuracy of the Handtevy™ LBT over the Broselow™ LBT. The Handtevy age-based system outperforms the Broselow™ LBT for underweight, normal weight, and obese children.| Peter Antevy M.D., Patrick Hardigan PhD, Robert Levy B.A. Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, Nova Southeastern University, University of South Florida College of Medicine | ClinCon 2014
Washington County EMS Instigates New Pediatric System- This summer, Washington County EMS (WCEMS) implemented a new system that helps staff better prepare for these situations. Using funds from community donations, WCEMS converted over to using the Handtevy system… The new system allows rescuers to estimate the child's weight and size based on age so that they can then begin to calculate the drug dosages that are going to be required.| By the Pony Express EMSC State Partnership, TX
Handtevy v. Broselow- Abstract: Study Objectives: The 2010 Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) guidelines state that length-based tapes (LBT) are more accurate than age-based methods in the prediction of body weight (Class IIa, LOE C). A novel hybrid pediatric age and length-based weight estimation method (Handtevy™) has been described to significantly improve accuracy in a pre-hospital pediatric simulation trial compared to the Broselow™ system… Conclusion: Predicted weights from the Handtevy™ age-based weight estimation method accurately predict pediatric normal weights. A comparison of two length-based tapes demonstrates increased accuracy of the Handtevy™ LBT over the Broselow™ LBT. The Handtevy™ age-based system outperforms the Broselow™ LBT for underweight, normal weight, and obese children.| By Peter Antevy, Patrick Hardigan, Robert Levy. Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, Weston, FL, Nova SouthEastern University, Davie, FL, University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine, Tampa, FL | American College of Emergency Physicians® 2014
Comparison of Two Length-Based Tape Systems for Pediatric Resuscitation- Background: The use of a length/weight-based tape (LBT) for equipment sizing and drug dosing for pediatric patients is recommended in a joint statement by ACS and NAEMSP. The BroselowTM tape is widely used and accepted in hospital and prehospital settings. A new system, known as HandtevyTM, allows rapid determination of critical drug doses without performing calculations… Conclusion: Handtevy™ LBT system is more accurate for dextrose administration compared to the Broselow™, preserving time to administration and accuracy of epinephrine in simulated prehospital scenarios. After comparison of both systems, the majority of PHPs indicate preference for the Handtevy™ system.| Lara Rappaport, Maria Mandt, Timothy Givens, Ashley Balakas, Kevin Waters, Kelley Roswell, Roxanna Lefort, Kathleen Adelgais, University of Colorado & Aurora Fire Department | NAEMSP Abstract 1/17/2014
Errors in Pediatric Prehospital Simulation Scenarios- Background: Medications errors are a critical safety issue in prehospital care. Length based tapes (LBT) for pediatric drug dosing is part of the recommended ambulance equipment list endorsed by the AAP. A new LBT system, known as Handtevy, allows rapid determination of critical drug doses without performing calculations… Conclusion: In prehospital simulation scenarios, procedural errors are very common. The Handtevy LBT system results in fewer cognitive errors, particularly in scenarios requiring dextrose administration.| By K. Adelgais MD MPH, T. Givens MD, M. Mandt MD, A. Balakas BSN, L. Rappaport MD MPH Colorado Children's Hospital 2013
Finger counting: an alternative method for estimating weights- Objectives: We compared the accuracy of a conceptually simple pediatric weight estimation technique, the finger counting method, with other commonly used methods… Conclusions: The finger counting method is an acceptable alternative to the Broselow method for weight estimation in children aged 1 to 9 years. It outperforms the traditional APLS method but underestimates weights compared with parental estimate and the Luscombe formula. | By Timothy P. Young, MD⁎, Brian G. Chen, MD, Tommy Y. Kim, MD, Andrea W. Thorp, MD, Lance Brown, MD, MPH | Department of Emergency Medicine, Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Loma Linda University Children's Hospital, Loma Linda, CA, USA 11/17/2013
Pediatric Drug Dosages- Peter Antevy, MD, never intended to reinvent the wheel. He was just looking for a more efficient, effective way to determine drug dosages for his pediatric patients… As Antevy puts it, where the Broselow Tape was a leap forward when it debuted in the mid-1980s, the Handtevy method is the next step in the evolution of pediatric emergency medicine.| By EMS World 05/2013
First-Hand Approach: A novel method to rapidly calculate pediatric dosages- Key to success in a pediatric resuscitation relies on access to tools and knowledge of reliable algorithms, but also the psychology of the provider.| By Peter Antevy, MD | JEMS 08/2013

THOMAS — The Snake River boys soccer team entered Wednesday's conference tilt with Marsh Valley looking for their first conference win of the season.
After 80 minutes of back and forth action, Snake River settled for a 2-2 tie with the Eagles, running their conference record to 0-2-2.
"We played a good game and we felt that we played a much stronger game than the other team so we feel that we should have won it," Snake River head coach Trevor Peterson said. "We did really well but I wish that the score was a little higher."
FIRTH — Sometimes it's hard to imagine the future when the present is so difficult. On Wednesday evening the Firth volleyball team suffered a 3 set loss to West Side but in the end steady improvement of the predominantly underclassmen laden roster still shined through.
"I really think that these girls will be a force," Firth head coach Carla Reeves said. "They are so young but for the next couple of years they will be dominant but it is hard for the seniors this year."
THOMAS — Two weeks ago the Snake River Lady Panther soccer squad traveled too Arimo for a huge conference tilt on the pitch, emerging with a 1-0 victory. On Wednesday afternoon the Lady Eagles came calling looking too even the season series but came up short as Snake River once again prevailed by that same 1-0 score.
"We had the luckiest outcome that we could have had today," Snake River head coach Randy Turpin said. "Marsh Valley outplayed us today and could have won this game 4-1."

Short on time during working hours? One way to address that is to take strategically timed breaks, writes Tony Schwartz, CEO of The Energy Project and author of "Be Excellent at Anything." Research shows that breaks such as daytime workouts, short afternoon naps and more frequent vacations boost productivity and job performance. This seems counterintuitive in most workplaces, he admits. "In most workplaces, rewards still accrue to those who push the hardest and most continuously over time," Schwartz writes. "But that doesn't mean they're the most productive."

However, I was surprised that the ears were heavier than my calculations; causing them to droop when assembled. Ultimately, it was discovered that the ears were filled unfused powder material! I drilled a hole and emptied the contents out which equalled 3 grams of extra weight on a part that should weigh 5.5g. Not sure if this extra weight is charged to me upon printing, but I'll be making bigger holes whenever possible from now on Happy Fabricating, -8th ]]> 8th-elephant 2013-01-25T09:26:34-00:00 Re: Powder in my ears... literally! http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=60754&th=12548#msg_60754 Paul stop4stuff Modeller for hireShapeways Shop - Controller PendantTwitterYouTube]]> stop4stuff 2013-01-25T10:29:37-00:00 Re: Powder in my ears... literally! http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=60800&th=12548#msg_60800 .
