All-Stars Tournament: Part 1
All-Star chefs Madison Cowan, Eric Greenspan, Brian Malarkey and Art Smith converge in the Chopped Kitchen to fight it out for a spot in the $75,000 finale. In the first round, a slimy ingredient provokes some disgusted reactions from the competitors and judges. In the entree round, the beautiful fish in the basket leads the chefs to make some surprising mistakes. And when the two finalists go in totally different directions with their desserts, it's up in the air which approach will be more pleasing to the judges. (Episode: CQ2403H)
All-Stars Tournament: Part 2
The second group of All-Star chefs, Anne Burrell, Hung Huynh, Mary Sue Milliken and Dale Talde, come out swinging for the fences with appetizer baskets containing a soup and a sour surprise. In the entree round, a cheesy party food must be matched with some expensive offal. The two star chefs who make it to the dessert round are challenged to make delicious dishes with a refreshing drink and some airy cookies. (Episode: CQ2404H)
All-Stars Tournament: Part 3
Four new All-Stars (Cat Cora, Antonia Lofaso, Michael Psilakis and Marcel Vigneron) strut into the Chopped Kitchen, sights set on the Grand Finale. In the first round, a special Spanish meat must be paired with an airy cookie. The chefs who make it to the second round face a huge ingredient to butcher and some tiny, sour fruits to tame. Flavored water and clarified butter are part of the culinary puzzle that the final two chefs have to solve in their desserts. (Episode: CQ2405H)
All-Stars Tournament: Part 4
There's just one more spot in the Grand Finale up for grabs, and Rocco DiSpirito, Jet Tila, Fabio Viviani and Lee Anne Wong all want it. The All-Stars open the appetizer baskets and find a succulent seafood and an Asian pastry. In the entree round, the chefs will need to get creative in order to cook a perfect piece of beef in time. And some fish-shaped snacks meet crystals that pop in the dessert round. (Episode: CQ2406H)
All-Stars Tournament: Grand Finale
With four winning All-Stars returning to the Chopped Kitchen, and $75,000 on the line for someone's favorite charity, the judges are set to enjoy a masterful meal. The competitors find something purple and something fishy in the appetizer basket. In a tense entree round, a seafood tower threatens to topple the competitors' cool. Before being awarded the largest charitable prize in Chopped history, the final two All-Star chefs must handle a very hot pepper and conquer a cookie cake in the dessert round. (Episode: CQ2407H)
Grill Masters: Part One
In this first-of-its-kind Chopped tournament event, the competition goes west for a fierce five-part showdown, where the greatest griller of them all will walk away with $50,000. In the appetizer round, what will the first four grill masters make for the judges with cookies and yak steaks? A giant surprise awaits the competitors in the entree basket, as one chef must muster up the confidence to create a dish using an ingredient he has never prepared and another ingredient he cannot stand. Chocolate meets fruit in a desert dessert duel; will everything go peachy for the competitors? (Episode: CQSP01H)
Grill Masters: Part Two
Four new master grillers step up to the challenge, fighting for a chance to compete in the $50,000 finale. But who will be able to hatch a successful plan in the first round with hatch chile taffy and Hawaiian blue prawns in the basket? Then, after the remaining competitors serve up their rack of boar entrees, the judges debate the relative complexity of flavors in the three dishes. Some delicious Italian surprises await the finalists, but perfect desserts will be difficult to execute in a windy, intense final round. (Episode: CQSP02H)
Grill Masters: Part Three
Four masters of the open flame compete for a chance to make it to the $50,000 finale fight. Advancing past the first round will require a lot of hard work in just 20 minutes, including opening oysters and defrosting blocks of creamed spinach. A tropical fruit lightens things up in the entree basket. Then, with marshmallows in the dessert basket, s'mores come to mind for one of the last two chefs. Will the judges enjoy the campfire-inspired creation? (Episode: CQSP03H)
Grill Masters: Part Four
Four grill masters face off for the last slot in the $50,000 finale. Will anybody lose their cool when they spy something called speculoos in the first basket? During the entree round, the competitors strive to make kick-butt pork butt dishes, which also include fruit leather. Can the two remaining chefs grill up some terrific desserts using every meat-lover's worst nightmare? (Episode: CQSP04H)
Grill Masters: Finale
The champions of the first four Chopped Grill Masters competitions return to compete for $50,000. The fierce fight to the finish begins with an appetizer basket of sardines and canned Sloppy Joe filling. Steaks are served up in the entree course, but the chefs' success with the other ingredients gives the judges much to think about. The final two chefs draw from family memories when they open up the last basket of the tournament and must grill some do-or-die desserts. (Episode: CQSP05H)
Food Network Stars!
Winners of the hit series Food Network Star compete to see who can beam brightest in the Chopped Kitchen! Cooking for the powerhouse panel of Bobby Flay, Giada De Laurentiis and Alton Brown, the competitors must be ready for whatever they might find in the notorious baskets, if they want to win $10,000 for their charity. It is a bubbly first round with sparkling cider as a mystery ingredient. Then a black cloud hovers over the entree round, in the form of black chickens. In the dessert round, it all comes down to which Star crafts the better dessert from frozen peas and cinnamon cereal. (Episode: CQSP06H)
After Hours with Ultimate Champions, Italian and Firefighters
No longer just watching from the sidelines, Chopped judges are taking over the kitchen and they're trying out the same basket ingredients that have sent home chef competitors. (Episode: CQSP07H)
After Hours Revisits Teens, Leftovers and Pigs Feet!
The tables are turned, as the Chopped judges take to the kitchen and triumph over baskets that had our chef contestants flummoxed. (Episode: CQSP08H)
Let's Do Lunch
In this competition, the usual rounds are replaced with breakfast, lunch and dinner. The morning meal must include tiny eggs and fancy coffee. In the second round, the chefs have to make midday meals featuring lunchbox favorite peanut butter and jelly. A strange turn of events in the dinner round finds one of the competitors searching frantically for an ingredient that has mysteriously vanished from sight. (Episode: CQ2301H)
T.G.I. Fry-day
It's fry-day in the Chopped Kitchen and the judges will be expecting deep-fried deliciousness on every plate. In the first round, the competitors work with hot dogs and taro root. During judging on the entree round, featuring cookies and cube steak, the judges must debate whether a repeated mistake should warrant one chef's elimination. And an ooey, gooey cake and salted caramel make for some sweet creations in the final round. (Episode: CQ2302H)
Every 'Wich Way
This special competition is all about celebrating the sandwich, every "wich" way it may be prepared. The four competitors must get creative, starting with beef brisket appetizer sandwiches, but when two chefs make the same big mistakes, who will move on? The chefs must make entree-worthy sandwiches from pork shoulder and pate. And stacking up dessert sandwiches is so much fun, but what will the two finalists make with Thai curry paste and chocolate-covered espresso beans? (Episode: CQ2303H)
Chopped, Again!
It's a second chance at victory, for four losing chefs seeking redemption. After the chefs make skate and pomegranate molasses appetizers, one chef must endure the indignity of being the first chef re-chopped. In the entree round, the competitors work with a boozy ice cream and an amusingly-named British pudding. In the dessert round, a German tart is a good start. (Episode: CQ2304H)
Big Barbecue Bout
It's a battle for all the carnivores, celebrating the art of barbecue in the Chopped Kitchen. In the first basket, the chefs find a regional barbecue sauce and jumbo shrimp. In round two, the chefs scramble to make delicious pork spare ribs entree. After two savory barbecue courses, the last two chefs must make sweet and hearty desserts with bananas and coconuts. (Episode: CQ2305H)
Double Trouble
Eight chefs comprised of cooking duos have been invited to the Chopped Kitchen to compete in pairs. In the first round, the couples learn to navigate the space together as they make appetizers that include date vinegar and chili garlic coated peas. For the entree round, there is a lively sea critter in the basket as well as some sweet potato patties. And the two cooking couples who make it to the dessert round must come up with some fresh ideas for creme fraiche and port wine. (Episode: CQ2306H)
First Responders
Police officers and paramedics with culinary chops are in the Chopped Kitchen. In the first round, the contestants respond to a basket with hummus chips and ground bison. In the second round, they must jump into action and figure out how to make fiery jawbreakers work with rotisserie chicken. And angel food cake in the final basket is apropos. (Episode: CQ2307H)
Amateurs Redemption
It takes a very brave home cook to take on Chopped once, and these amateurs are courageous enough to come back for a second time. In the first round, vegan roast is an ingredient to be reckoned with. In the second round, a small bird and a sugary breakfast item are part of the vexing entree puzzle that the amateurs must solve. Some sweet-and-savory candies and a special spice blend keep the last two competitors on their toes, as they fight to be the last one standing tall as the Chopped Champion. (Episode: CQ2308H)
Chocolate Rush!
A surge of excitement is felt in the Chopped Kitchen when the chefs find out that every mystery basket will contain chocolate! In the first round, the chefs must figure out how to make chocolate ingredients work with pork chops. The baskets in the entree round contain beef along with dark chocolate. The two lucky, talented finalists aim to amaze the judges with their milk chocolate and graham cracker desserts. (Episode: CQ2309H)
Viewers' Choice Ingredients
In this competition, the mystery basket ingredients were suggested by fans on social media. The chefs open the first basket and find a frightfully difficult protein. In the second round, boxed macaroni and cheese returns to the Chopped Kitchen! And a giant egg and some mushy fruit are at play in the dessert round. (Episode: CQ2310H)
Judges' Face-Off
It's a friendly competition between friends, when the Chopped judges face off with baskets containing leftover ingredients. In the appetizer round, the chefs must turn tuna noodle casserole into something new. Rice left in a pan and soup saved for later are two of the ingredients in the entree basket. In the dessert round, leftover cake must be turned into something innovative and delicious. (Episode: CQ2311H)
Fake Cake, Real Stakes
It's a great fake out, when all the basket ingredients are in disguise. Everyone should taste the "chicken wings" in the first basket, which are a secretly sweet item. The "cake" in the second round and "tomato soup" in the dessert basket also require a close inspection. The duplicitous ingredients lead to trouble for all and even more potential for trickery lurks in the pantry. (Episode: CQ2312H)

Meet Our NMU Counselors and Staff
Counseling and Consultation Services staff members share the philosophy that counseling is a valuable tool for students to come to grips with their emotions, to cope with troubling current situations, to empower themselves, and to facilitate healthy choice making and growth for the future. This philosophy requires that both the counselor and the client (our name for the students who use our service) work hard to find out what the client's goals are, to see how counseling might help the client to reach those goals, and to develop a plan together. This collaborative work with your counselor is at the heart of all good counseling relationships.

Whatever Rivera does won't affect Hoffman's ticket to Cooperstown
Timing is not everything, but it sure helps to be No. 1 for at least a little while. Roger Bannister attained immortality by becoming the first man to run a mile in less than four minutes, but he would hold the world record for only 46 days. Hoffman's hold on the saves record has spanned almost five years — longer than the Germans occupied Paris.
"Everybody gets passed on every list," said Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, who covered Hoffman's last two years with the Brewers. "I think Rivera's a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and I think it will be a high-percentage vote. I hope Trevor is, too. I'll vote for him on the first ballot.
"It's not the doctor's office. I don't think you have to take a seat and wait your turn."
How well Hoffman's numbers ultimately compare to Rivera's will certainly influence the debate about their relative merits. Rivera's remarkable postseason record and the degree of difficulty involved in pitching to lineups bolstered by designated hitters should probably count more heavily in these deliberations than any advantages derived by pitching for the big-budget Yankees instead of the bargain-basement Padres.
It's important to remember, though, that enshrinement in Cooperstown is not a zero-sum proposition. You don't have to pick Willie Mays over Mickey Mantle, or Mariano Rivera over Trevor Hoffman. You can have them all.
"I think I draw the circle as tight as anyone when it comes to the Hall of Fame," said Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star. "But unless you're going to use Mariano Rivera as the minimum standard for admitting closers — and that's already not the case — I don't see how you can keep Trevor Hoffman out of Cooperstown."
Padres President Tom Garfinkel said Thursday the decision to retire Hoffman's number was not made with Rivera's proximity "front of mind." Hall of Fame spokesman Craig Muder said the jersey, cap and spikes from Hoffman's 500th save will remain on display at the museum indefinitely.
"No matter what happens with Mariano," Muder said, "that will not change."
Records are made to be broken, but not forgotten.

On March 30, the FTC announced that Google had settled charges that it engaged in deceptive tactics and violated its own privacy promises when it launched its social network called Buzz. The FTC stated that this is the first FTC settlement in which a company agreed to implement a comprehensive privacy program to protect the privacy of consumer data. Google also agreed to independent privacy audits for the next 20 years.
According to the FTC complaint, when Google launched its Buzz social network through its Gmail web-based email product, it led Gmail users to believe that they could choose whether or not they wanted to join the network. However, the FTC claimed that the options for declining or leaving the social network were ineffective, confusing and difficult to find, and the disclosures about what information would be shared were inadequate. In response to the Buzz launch, Google received thousands of complaints from consumers who were concerned about public disclosure of their email contacts which included, in some cases, ex-spouses, patients, students, employers, or competitors.

A message from our Board
On behalf of the trustees of The Hampshire Dance Trust, we regret to announce that we are unable to continue the work of Dance Up and it is therefore with great sadness that we have taken the very difficult decision to cease trading from 31 March 2015.
The Trust was established as a registered charity in 1992 and has built an excellent track record over the last 22 years, with a national reputation for its innovative and effective work, particularly in the areas of dance and health, children and young people and dance and science. In the last two years we have also developed valuable experience and a growing knowledge of commissioning dance for heritage contexts.
However the funding environment has changed dramatically over the last few years with Arts Council England reducing its regularly funded client portfolio and local authority funding diminishing and becoming more focussed on commissioning. This makes for extremely challenging times, particularly for small organisations such as ours that become reliant on project funding to support core costs.
We would like to thank all the funders that have supported us and invested in dance over the past 22 years as well as all the individuals and organisations that have contributed so much to the success of The Trust's work. We are extremely confident our work, has not only made a difference to so many dancers but also strengthened the dance ecology across Hampshire and the South East. We are currently working very hard to ensure the legacy of Hampshire Dance/Dance Up continues to inspire future generations of people for many years to come.

This is an eTextbook Learn More
A Tale of Two Monasteries takes an unprecedented look at one of the great rivalries of the Middle Ages and offers it as a revealing lens through which to view the intertwined histories of medieval England and France. This is the first book to systematically compare Westminster Abbey and the abbey of Saint-Denis--two of the most important ecclesiastical institutions of the thirteenth century--and to do so through the lives and competing careers of the two men who ruled them, Richard de Ware of Westminster and Mathieu de Vendôme of Saint-Denis.
Esteemed historian William Jordan weaves a breathtaking narrative of the social, cultural, and political history of the period. It was an age of rebellion and crusades, of artistic and architectural innovation, of unprecedented political reform, and of frustrating international diplomacy--and Richard and Mathieu, in one way or another, played important roles in all these developments. Jordan traces their rise from obscure backgrounds to the highest ranks of political authority, Abbot Richard becoming royal treasurer of England, and Abbot Mathieu twice serving as a regent of France during the crusades. By enabling us to understand the complex relationships the abbots and their rival institutions shared with each other and with the kings and social networks that supported and exploited them, A Tale of Two Monasteries paints a vivid portrait of medieval society and politics, and of the ambitious men who influenced them so profoundly.

House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, 5 Sleeps
Beautiful Venice Island, Heated 40' Pool, Walk to Private beach.
Located in the prestigious and serene Golden Beach neighborhood, this
furnished 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the best of Venice in its own
secluded and beautifully landscaped setting. Furnished with touches of
classic Venice from the overstuffed living room furniture to the Tuscan stone
flooring. Sliding glass doors open the dining and living area and the master
suite to the enclosed pool deck. The plan of this home allows a nice flow
between the indoor and outdoor spaces. This home is the perfect retreat:
open, bright, airy, quiet and comfortable.
Enjoy the comforts of home with cable, DVD, flat screen T.V., stereo, central
air conditioning, and laundry facility. The pool, enclosed in a screened
Lanai, is 40 feet long (you can actually swim laps!) and is heated
electrically, the only way to ensure comfort during winter months. (Solar
heat simply doesn't keep up.) Step outside the lanai and enjoy some of
Florida's best grapefruit fresh off the tree. Pool and landscaping are
professionally maintained year round.
The Island of Venice is famous for being directly on the Gulf of Mexico and
not on an intercoastal waterway. This home is a 5 minute walk to its private
Gulf beach access complete with picnic tables, benches, beach chairs, outdoor
shower and grill. Step onto Golden Beach and experience the unobstructed
view to the horizon. The sunsets are spectacular. Stroll the wide sandy
beach as you walk to Sharky's restaurant and the Venice Fishing Pier to
experience fine outdoor dining, live music, and to see what the local
fisherman are catching, or just sit and enjoy one of Florida's nicest
Golden Beach is about one mile from Downtown Venice and its palm-tree lined
avenues. Stroll through antique shops and art galleries, bookstores and
seaside souvenir shops. Stop to dine at an outdoor café, or pick up a cup of
coffee or bottle of wine at one of the charming local shops. Just north of
Downtown Venice are the jetties where you can watch the pleasure boats come
and go or see the dolphins making their morning rounds.

Activity and Interests
About Venice:
Downtown Venice and its environs are connected by a vast park system,
Venetian Waterway Park, which enables walkers to circle the entire island on
foot. Venice alone contains 27 parks. The most popular downtown park,
Centennial Park gazebo hosts free concerts weekly. Every Saturday Centennial
Park is the site of a farmers market selling local produce, flowers, along
with arts and crafts. On Venice Avenue is a free public recreation center
with basketball, tennis, shuffleboard courts, and children's playground.
Historic downtown Venice is built entirely in the Renaissance-style of the
famous Italian city for which it was named. In 1920 city planner John Nolan
designed the downtown area to be walkable and accessible. It contains only
independently owned unique boutiques, restaurants and hotels. Live music
emanates from the gazebo and street performers entertain the strollers. Horse
and buggy tours of the city are available. The Venice Cultural Center offers
concerts, plays, and lectures at discount prices. The Venice Art Center,
recently restored and enlarged, displays rotating exhibits of local and out-
of-state artists as well as art classes for children and adults.
Venice has an assortment of unusual and charming restaurants and bars, as
well as a lively night life. Phat Cats jazz bar, Venice Avenue Wine and
Coffee Shop, old fashioned traditional Soda Fountain Shop, TJ Carney's, etc.
Originally a tiny fishing village, Venice has experienced immense growth in
the past 50 years. As more developers look to Venice, the Venice Area
Historical Society has become active in preserving the city's unique look and
controlling growth. The society is integral in preventing overbuilding and
restricting condo construction. It's most recent accomplishment is the
restoration of the old Venice train depot, the gateway to Venice through
which the Ringling Circus trains used to travel. Now the depot hosts tours
and contains small shops.
In a state of famous beaches, Venice Beach stands out for its vast white sand
beach, vibrant shells, and -- on account of the ancient shark "burial ground"
off its shores -- shark tooth hunting. Venice Beach also has one of the last
full-length piers on Florida's west coast, and adjacent Sharkey's Restaurant.
Water-sport abound - swimming, boogie-boarding, skim-boarding, surfing,
fishing... Jet skis, and all variety of boats are readily available for rent.
The Bay Lady is a local boat that offers guided tours of Venice's waterways.
Excellent golf courses are everywhere.
Sarasota and its multiplicity of attractions and entertainment possibilities
is just a short ride away. In spring 2004 Sarasota was designated by Fortune
Magazine as one of five most appealing USA cities.
Some of the many cultural attractions in nearby Sarasota include The Ringling
Museum of Art, Ca d'Zan restored Venetian estate of John Ringling, Mote
Marine Laboratory Aquarium and Research Center, Selby Botanical Gardens with
its renown collection of orchids and epiphytes, Van Wezel Performing Arts
Center, Florida West Coast Symphony, Sarasota Opera, FSU Dance, Sarasota
Ballet, as well as multiple theaters and art galleries. Of special interest
for the kids in Sarasota are G Wiz Children's Museum, Jungle Gardens, Spanish
Point Historical Site and Indian Burial Grounds, Pelican Man's Bird
Sanctuary, Ringling Circus Museum, Planet Fun, Sarasota Car Museum, Pirate's
Cove, Water Park, Mote Marine Wildlife and Nature boating expeditions, and
deep sea charter cruises.

More Rabbinical Money Laundering
Guilty pleas in L.A.; meeting with Jewish leaders in N.J.
Last month, when federal agents arrested five rabbis from the Syrian Jewish community, including Chief Rabbi Saul Kassin, on charges that they used religious charities to launder money for their congregants, some were reminded of a similar 2007 case involving the Spinka sect. Yesterday, the Grand Rabbi of Spinka, Naftali Tzi Weisz, entered his guilty plea in a Los Angeles federal court to one count of conspiracy to evade the IRS and illicitly launder $8.4 million through Spinka charitable organizations, in exchange for a $744,000 cut for the community's benefit. Weisz, who is based in Brooklyn, gave a surprise apology last week at a community forum, demanding that the community promise to stop engaging in tax evasion—perhaps an effort at softening up the judge, who may give the rabbi up to a five-year prison sentence in November.
Meanwhile, New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie—who as the U.S. Attorney in Newark oversaw the two-year investigation of the Syrian Jewish community—met yesterday with Orthodox leaders from around the state in an apparent effort to head off any political fallout from the case. Polls show Christie, a Republican, holding a 14-point lead over Democratic incumbent Gov. Jon Corzine—but Corzine last week added self-described "feisty Jewish grandmother" Loretta Weinberg to his ticket. According to a press release from the Orthodox Union, which brokered the meeting, Christie reminded the assembled rabbis of his anti-terrorism and security prosecutions—and, not incidentally, promised to support tax credits for Orthodox families in the cities of Elizabeth, Lakewood, and Passaic. As they say in the drug wars: legalization is one way to cut crime.

Police nab another NPA member involved in Bukidnon attacks
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—An alleged member of the New People's Army involved in the attacks of multinational firms Dole and Del Monte in Bukidnon last week was arrested Tuesday night, police said Wednesday.
Police Chief Superintendent Catalino Rodriguez, Regional Director of Northern Mindanao police, said in a statement that joint elements of Libona Municipal Police Station and the Regional Public Safety Battalion arrested Valeriano Anonsaon Jr., known as "Junior," in Sil-ipon village, Libona, Bukidnon at about 10 p.m. Tuesday.
The arrest brings to three suspects allegedly involved in the attacks arrested by police. Two were earlier arrested in a follow-up operation by government forces in Kihare village in Manolo Fortich town.
Local police of Libona received reports that Anonsaon was last spotted in Sil-ipon village where he was recuperating from the injuries he sustained in an encounter with Army personnel on February 23, Rodriguez said.
Three rebels were killed, while three others were injured in the said clash, he added.
The management of Del Monte is now coordinating with the local police in the filing of arson cases against the arrested suspects.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently released new final regulations under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) that confirm several positions that it has successfully taken in litigation about what is a substantial risk of forfeiture (SRF) under Section 83 of the Code. The new regulations are substantially the same as proposed regulations issued in May 2012. While these regulations became effective as of January 1, 2013, it is reasonable to expect that the IRS will enforce Section 83 in audits for prior periods consistent with these regulations.
The final regulations clarify the following:
The regulations provide new examples illustrating when transfer restrictions will – and will not – constitute a SRF. These regulations under section 83 apply to transfers of property on or after January 1, 2013.

A very nice and convenient place to enjoy your stay in this fantastic city! Well located for visiting the city center by foot, also for getting on a ship. Just some details could be a plus, e.g. slippers available in the room and local beer in the fridge...
