Burnam Will Be Tried Under State's Sexually Violent Person Statute
WAUKESHA - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that the Waukesha County Circuit Court has found probable cause to commit Roy Burnam, age 45, to treatment under the state's sexual predator law. The Wisconsin Department of Justice filed the state's petition to commit Burnam to treatment and probable cause was found on July 9, 2010, at a hearing before Judge J. Mac Davis. Judge Davis scheduled the matter for a status conference on July 23, 2010
Chapter 980 of the Wisconsin Statutes relates to the control, care and treatment of sexually violent persons. Under Wisconsin law, a person may be subject to a civil commitment when the person has been convicted of a sexually violent offense, has a mental disorder, and is dangerous to others because the mental disorder makes it likely he or she will commit further acts of sexual violence. A civil commitment is defined in Wisconsin law as commitment to the custody and care of the Department of Health Services for control, care, and treatment until the person is no longer considered sexually violent.
According to the DOJ petition, in 1998 Burnam was convicted in Waukesha County of Third Degree Sexual Assault and Child Enticement. He was sentenced to a total of twelve years in prison followed by extended supervision. Burnam was scheduled to be discharged from the Department of Corrections on April 28, 2010, but will be detained at a Department of Health Services facility awaiting trial.
The state's petition alleges that Burnam suffers from a mental condition that predisposes him to engage in acts of sexual violence. The petition also alleges that Burnam is dangerous as his mental disorder makes it likely that he will engage in future acts of sexual violence. A petition is only an allegation and a finding of probable cause only allows the state's case to move forward. Burnam is legally presumed not to be a sexually violent person unless and until the state proves him to be a sexually violent person at a trial.
Assistant Attorney General Dennis Krueger represents the state in this case.

You shouldn't bring pizza, hot dogs, ice cream or beer into this! They're what America is all about! I bet this Fifth Third Burger recipe originated from the France, or the Germany! I'm only going to eat food that is true to America!
The money Fifth Third is gaining from this burger is going to have to go back into stadium repairs from all the fatties bending the bleachers in half when they sit down!
It's pretty sad that your desire for your children is to be more excited about eating a fatty burger than aspiring to be a great athlete like the West Michigan Whitecaps! These men are underpaid and under appreciated, but yet these guys are out there changing the world with their efforts and their play, and you want your kids to appreciate a burger more than that!? You're sick.
Our future is bleak.
Ugh, this is what is wrong with America.
"We always try to come up with something new and innovative," - Someone needs to tell Scott Lane that making people fat isn't new, or innovative. McDonalds and Burger King have been doing it for years. "We believe it's very important to the overall experience." - what's important? Having your entire fan base stroll around the stadium in their "handicap" carts because their too fat to walk? This is embarrassing.
When I'm at the game, I'm going to smack this burger out of every persons hand that I see, and tell them to quit being fat pigs!
The name "West Michigan Whitecaps" is fitting, because anytime the fans submerge into water, there is definitely going to be whitecaps! Maybe "West Michigan Tidal Waves" will be more fitting, because after eating this burger, tidal waves will be occurring instead of white caps.
If anyone in Michigan is looking for a job, start a fat camp in Michigan and you'll be working for the rest of your life! Thanks a lot West Michigan Whitecaps. Thanks a lot.
bir and bazskott, you don't understand what briton is trying to say you stupid dicks! He's pointing out how the man who was aero lifted to the hospital is an idiot for running into the back of the bus! Come on, it's funny, let's all laugh!
Stupid jerk, briton.

Here's a simple step-by-step guide for how to transfer EPUB books bought from any eBook store that uses Adobe DRM to any eReader that can read Adobe Digital Editions books.
a) Visit Adobe.com to Create an Adobe Account.
b) The e-mail address you enter during the registration process will be your ID.
2. Download and install the Adobe Digital Editions Software.
This free software is available from Adobe.com as well. (It's compatible with PC and Mac, but not Linux.)
3. Authorize your computer.
a) Once installed, navigate to Library > Authorize Computer.
b) Enter your Adobe ID e-mail and password. If you have multiple computers, be sure to authorize them all with the same ID.
4. Authorize your eReader(s).
Not all eReaders work with Adobe Digital Editions, but the device manufacturer will usually tell you on its website or in the documentation. If you're not sure, check there first. Adobe also keeps a list of supported devices. However, the list is not comprehensive.
a) With ADE open, plug your eReader into your notebook's USB port. Some devices require an extra step that allows the computer to access the memory. You'll need to do this before the software will detect the eReader. Check the instructions on screen or in the documentation.
b) ADE will recognize the device and ask if you want to authorize it. Click Authorize Device.
c) Once the process is complete, the eReader will show up as an icon in the left menu.
Note: Some eReaders, such as the Alex, required us to enter our Adobe ID on the device itself in order to authorize it. If ADE doesn't recognize your eReader automatically, contact the manufacturer to find out if the device requires a unique process.
5. Add eBooks to Adobe Digital Editions' library.
When you first start the program, ADE will scan your computer and add all of the ePUB files it finds. If you load books to your computer later, you can still add them to the library.
a) Click Library > Add Items to Library.
b) Navigate to a folder with .epub files. Some eBook stores require users to install their own software in order to download books. This won't interfere with ADE, but you may end up with books in several different folders. See the Help section of those programs if you can't find it.
c) Select one or multiple files, then Open.
d) The files will show up in the main Library view, and are now authorized for copying to other devices.
6. Add eBooks to your device.
Drag books from the library to your eReader icon and drop them when the circle on the lower right of the icon turns green and shows a "+" sign.
Something is wrong here… You cannot read a B&N DRM eBook on ADE or on a Sony eReader…

I'm not going to share my Zombie Jerkies with anyone!!!
Zombie Jerky is a delicious way of dealing with the undead. Seriously, though, Zombie Jerky is really just tasty chunks of teriyaki beef jerky – accented with green stuff. Packaged in a neato specimen pouch, Zombie Jerky will prove to everyone that you'll eat anything (and also earn you lots of grossed out looks). And all the while, you'll know it's not really ex-people. Or is it?!? Hey, zombies have been eating us for years – it's time for us to return the favor with Zombie Jerky.

Astoria is a neighborhood located in Western Queens, approximately a 10-15 minute subway ride from Midtown. Predominantly Greek, Astoria is filled with tasty restaurants, diners, and cafes. Its proximity to Manhattan and relatively cheap rents, combined with its inherent charm, has made this neighborhood an attractive location for artists and students to live. One of the highlight attractions in the area is the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden, a century-old bar with a giant courtyard.

There are 52,000 pubs in England. Let the games begin.
Hayward Field, Eugene, Oregon
Track & Field Olympic Trials
June 22 - July 1, 2012
Professional athletes from all over the world dream about competing at Hayward Field. For those who have the opportunity to participate, it's an overwhelming experience, because of its history and prestige. Hayward Field hosted the Track and Field Olympic Trials in '72, '76 and '80. After an extended break, the trials returned to Eugene in 2008. TrackTown12 is the largest national championship track meet in the world and will select the athletes to represent Team USA at the London Olympic Games in 2012. We're honored to be part of the celebrations in Eugene this year.
Over the past forty years, Eugene has become a world-famous center of track and field. In 1969 the legendary Steve Prefontaine chose to run for the University of Oregon under Bill Bowerman, turning down offers from top colleges around the country. Breaking numerous middle and long-distance records, Pre energized the small town with his skill and determination. Before his tragic death in 1975, Pre set the record for the 5000 meters race, qualifying for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. Each year the Prefontaine Classic at Hayward Field honors his legacy and features track and field athletes ranked in the Top 50 in the world.
Bill Bowerman, coach of the track and field team at University of Oregon for 24 years and co-founder of Nike, shaped the running culture of Eugene into what it is today. He gained success and respect with his philosophy that all athletes are individuals who need to be treated and trained differently. Interestingly, he was one of the first athletic coaches to experiment with film, which helped his athletes fine-tune their techniques.
The trials began yesterday at the Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, with the Hammer Throw and then continue until July 1st in Eugene. Deschutes Brewery beers will be flowing all around Hayward Field celebrating this momentous event! Join our brewers, staff, & Woody (our traveling wooden beer barrel) for a week of fun filled events, Deschutes beer inspired food items and killer beer, of course! We'll be pouring Black Butte Porter, Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Chainbreaker White IPA, and Twilight Summer Ale, along with four pub exclusive beers. We're looking forward to watching Oregon Track Club Olympian Nick Symonds, who is favored to win the 800 meters. Symmonds expects competition from his teammate and fellow Olympian, Andrew Wheating. Symmonds will also be running against KD Robinson, head cross-country coach at the UNLV. We will also be watching our local Bend athletes, Max King and Ashton Eaton, compete for a spot on Team USA!
Have you attended an event at Hayward Field? What was your experience like? Who will you be following at the London Olympic Games this year?

You can takeout or sit on a stool and eat off a counter. The best thing about their dogs are big tomato slices. The negative=bun is not steamed or with poppy seeds, dogs warm, not hot, relish sparse and not neon green. Bland shoestring fries come in a small brown bag to absorb grease. Don't know how they can be that greasy and still so bland. Might have done better at America's Dog across the street from Max (maybe next on my list).

I had not had a REAL Italian Beef in many years (I'm from Illinois, live in Nashville, TN now) and as soon as we had checked into the Palmer House in downtown Chicago, I asked the concierge where to find the closest and BEST Italian Beef. He gave us directions to Max's just around the corner on Wabash and I started each day there with their great Italian Beef and my husband had the Hot dog and the combo. There's no place else outside of Chicago you can get that taste. The prices are unbelievably inexpensive. Try it...you'll love it. I took mine to Millenium Park for a picnic and snack.
Posted by Best Chicago Hot Dogs In Chicago on 05/18/2007
This is the best place to get Chicago hot dogs. They use only the best Vienna Beef hot dogs, and the toppings are really tastey. They serve everything from spagetti and meatballs to gyros to Chicago hot dogs. The hot dogs are their best, they deserve ten stars out of five. Do yourself a favor, the next time you are in Chicago, make a trip to Max's, and have the best Chicago dog of your life.

Superior Protein Complex
Product Description
This exquisite combination of 4 superior protein powders, finalized using the latest technologies, contains a large dose of essential amino acids, BCAA's and L-glutamine. The SPC proteins are complementary.
Calcium caseinate is being digested much slower and enables the body to absorb and digest nutrients for about 6 hours. Whey protein concentrate consists of short protein chains and is absorbed very fast. Hydrolysates have a high-quality amino acid profile ensuring a fast release of amino acids, and Isolate contains almost no fat or lactose and is considered to be the best source of protein to support building up fat free muscle mass. The combination of complementary proteins produces a synergetic effect: the quality of the final product exceeds that of the individual ingredients.
Suggested use: Mix, two times daily, 30g of powder with 30cl of skimmed milk or water.
Flavours: Vanilla and chocolate.
Packaging: Available in a pot of 750g and 2000g.
Allergens: Contains milk (lactose), gluten, soy or derivates thereof.

Video:How to Install a Toiletwith JJ Burkart
Installing a new toilet may seem like a daunting task, but it will also update the look and feel of your bathroom. Watch this demonstration on how to install a toilet.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Install a ToiletHi! I'm JJ Burkart for About.com. I'm going to show you how to install a toilet.
Prepare the Toilet FlangeThe flange is the mounting base for your new toilet. Place two new bolts in the holes on the sides of your flange. Position the bolts straight up and directly across from each other.
Arrange the New Toilet Into PlacePlace the wax ring or toilet gasket around the edge of the drain hole. Place the toilet on top of the wax ring, placing the bolts in the holes on the side of the toilet. Slowly press down until the toilet is seated flush with the floor.
Install the New ToiletSlide the washers over the bolts and tighten the nuts until snug. Do not over tighten or you can crack the ceramic.
Apply the rubber gasket to the bottom of the tank. Set the bolts in the holes on the tank and set the tank on the back of the toilet bowl. Add washers and nuts to the bolts and tighten. Bolt the new toilet lid to the bowl with the bolts, washers and nuts.
Connect the Toilet Water LineConnect the water line from the floor to the tank. Turn on the water and make sure there are no leaks.
Adjust the New Toilet HardwareSaw off the extra length of the bolts protruding from the floor using a small hacksaw. Clip the plastic bolt caps into place. You may want to caulk the base of the bowl to create waterproof seal.

Science Hill is once again at the head of the area class in wrestling, but the Hilltoppers have some unfinished business hanging over from last year.
Their grip on the region title was pried loose by Dobyns-Bennett.
"The biggest thing we're focused on is trying to prepare ourselves to take back the region title," said head coach Jimmy Miller. "We felt we didn't wrestle our best, and didn't finish the way we wanted.
"Our focus is to finish February in the position we want, which is another region championship. Anything less will not be, in my terms, successful."
It looks like the Indians will again be the Hilltoppers' biggest challenge, although Miller said Tennessee High is in the picture as well.
"Against D-B, if we wrestle to our expectations we should be fine," said Miller. "But they will wrestle us like there is no tomorrow. Their kids will be ready, and our kids will be sky high."
The teams will meet Jan. 16 at Science Hill's gym.
Leading the way for Science Hill's lineup are three seniors: Gary Hudgins (126 pounds), Max Vaughn (132) and Austin Bagley (145).
"Those are the most seasoned kids, and they've been around the program the longest," said Miller. "They have the most experience."
Hudgins was a state qualifier last year, and Miller said he has a good shot at winning the region this year.
"He's a tough kid," said Miller.
One of the losses by Hudgins (12-2) came against Greeneville's Jon Boatman, a previous state runner-up.
Vaughn and Austin finished in the top eight of the state last year, and both should be in the region-title mix in 2014. Vaughn won region titles as an eighth-grader and last season. He is 8-0 this year, having missed some early matches with injuries.
Among the younger wrestlers, 106-pound freshman Cooper Williams seems to have the highest ceiling.
"He was really good in middle school, and he's stepped right in and is doing exactly what we want him to do," said Miller. "He's working hard and doing very well."
Williams is 11-3 on the season. Also included in the starting lineup are 113-pounder Athan Kalogeros (Fr.), 120-pounder Eric Yother (Jr.), 138-pounder Sam Lane (Jr.), and 152-pound Ben Rolston (Jr.).
In the higher weight classes are Shane Jessee (160, Jr.), Costa Kalogeros (170, So.), Colby Hardin (182, Jr.), Hunter Bagley (195, So.), Anh Khoa Nguyen (220, Jr.) and 285-pound sophomore Cameron Burris.
All of that makes up for a solid dual team that already owns impressive wins over District 2 powers Jefferson County (58-24) and Morristown East (61-10).
"The thing I'm stressing with the kids every day is this sport is 10 percent wrestling and 90 percent work," said Miller. "If you learn to work hard and work better, wrestling will take care of itself.
"Winning a championship does not happen on the night we wrestle D-B. It happens months before. If we have good practices, get in the room and work, good things will happen on match night."
Science Hill took on Asheville (N.C.) T.C. Roberson on Thursday, and will participate in the Tullahoma Duals this weekend.

There is a fine line between CEO confidence and arrogance. One is required. The other is a company killer.
An example of this is Research In Motion (RIMM). They have become a poster child for a company snoozing, while their dominant market share position was shredded by their competitors. Although some (like me) were sounding the alarm of RIMM facing its demise since June 2010, it's appeared to outsiders that its co-CEOS, Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, have been asleep at the switch.
I've talked often about Jim Balsillie simply makes no sense when discussing the company and its strategy. Yet, when the company's stock was flying high, no one seemed to care.
I was on a Canadian Business program in the summer where I was the RIMM bear and I was debating a RIMM bull. He was a money manager in Toronto, I think. At the time, RIMM's stock was around $30. The RIMM bull was saying the stock has been a major disappointment to that point (down from $70 in February), but how could you sell it at that point. The worst had to be over, he argued.
During a commercial break at the end of the debate, I shook the guy's hand and asked him how he could own a stock like RIMM with a guy like Balsillie in charge. "Have you ever sat down and tried to understand what Balsillie's saying?" I asked him. He waved his hands at me and said: "Ah, that's just Jim. Everyone who's invested in RIMM over the years knows that's just the way he is. After you meet him a few times, you understand that and just forget about it."
Maybe that's why there's been such a gulf in perceptions of RIMM between Americans and Canadians. Maybe familiarity with Balsillie's nonsensical thinking with Canadians breeds tolerance.
Much more deadly that the RIMM co-CEOs' ability to articulate their strategy was their arrogance.
Arrogance breeds complacency. Although arrogance wasn't an issue when RIMM had a hot device that was way ahead of the competition, it was the death-knell for the company when the iPhone was introduced by Apple (AAPL) in 2007.
It turns out that RIMM has always been arrogant – even back in 1993, 6 years before its NASDAQ IPO. Here's a quote from the Kitchener-Waterloo Record by Jim Balsillie in May 1993:
"It's a bit conceited, but Mike believes there isn't a technology issue he can't solve, and I believe there isn't a business issue I can't stick-handle my way through."
My other favorite from Balsillie was just after the iPhone was introduced in January 2007:
"Apple has done the industry an enormous favour."
Nothing will change at RIMM until Balsillie is gone.

Lofa County Programme Unit
Area: 111,400 sq. km
Population: 3,489,072 (2008)
Current areas of operation: Lofa County, Gbarpolu, Bomi, Montserrado, and Cape Mount
Sponsored children: Around 2,000
Liberia has only recently seen the end of 14 years of civil war, which devastated every part of society.
Most people in Lofa County work in agriculture. Domestic crops include rice, cassava, cocoyams, peanuts, pineapples, plantain and bananas. Cash crops produced are rubber, cocoa, coffee, and spices. The average annual income per capita stands at US$300 (World Bank, 2008).
Lofa County is Plan's only programme unit in Liberia – but work is underway to open another in Bomi County.
Programme highlights
Since Plan Liberia resumed operations in 2006, we have been working to rebuild vital infrastructure destroyed by the civil war and provide support in the following areas:
- school construction, teacher training, school supplies and furniture
- quality and improved health care delivery by building hospitals, training health practitioners, building latrines and water wells with hand pumps, and raising awareness of health issues
- child rights media activities aimed at advocating for and protecting the rights of the child as set out in the UN convention
- Socio-economic development through village savings and loan schemes, which help families to invest in businesses and save for the future
- Birth registration activities to ensure children have official identities, giving them access to vital services such as health and education
- Ending violence in schools through Plan's global 'Learn Without Fear' campaign.
For example, children in Liberia are benefitting from their right to access quality healthcare from birth – traditional birth attendants have been trained in safe delivery skills to help reduce the high rate of infant and maternal mortality.
Through Plan's Media projects, we are training children and youths to become radio broadcasters, giving them the skills to host live radio shows on the rights and responsibilities of children and adults.
Girls' empowerment programme
According to the Ministry of Education, only 41% of girls are enrolled in school compared to 59% of boys. So Plan Liberia is empowering more than 650 girls in a school in Monrovia through quality education, computer literacy, media club activities, health care, child rights, information technology and life skills.
In light of the success of the girls' empowerment project, another one is currently being set up in Yallahun, Lofa County, with training to include pastry making, tailoring, home arts and computer literacy.
The project also helps provide much needed psychological and social support to girls and mothers. Plan Liberia has also given full scholarships to 229 girls who need financial assistance to continue their education.

While we were putting this issue together, we were thinking of the ways in which you as a writer might be assessing the last 12 months. What did you accomplish? What made you proud? How did your writing move to the next step, stage or discovery?
The Writer
Digital Editions / Renewals / Gifts
32 articles found
Making a work your own is what drives us, whether we're employed by a corporate organization or slaving away at a desk in a living room in the Florida swamps.
To survive as creative people, we take risks. We stay up late. We teeter between worlds. Nearly every writer in this issue refers to the persistence you must have to be a writer.
Since this is September, the official back-to-school month, we've had classrooms on our minds here at The Writer.
I like to think of our magazine as being the same kind of "meeting at the depot" experience for our readers – except our topic is craft.
Break the rules and discover a new truth.
The writers in this issue are known for the power stories they write and the powerful ways they pull us toward their ideas. We travel with them to worlds beyond our own imaginations. And sometimes to worlds buried deep in the recesses of our imaginations.
As I waited for the lights to come up, it struck me – not for the first time – that stories are utterly ubiquitous in the world.

The right light level
Wondering if you have too little lighting? Many NZ offices are more likely to have too much.
Aim for 320 lux
Many offices are over-lit because the level is set for the entire room. Circulation areas need only half the light of work areas. There are significant savings to be made in designing the lighting to work more closely with the desk layout.
Most small and open plan offices only need to be lit to 320 lux over the entire floor area, work that involves finer levels of detail may require more lighting.
Invest in a lux meter
To measure the light in your business you'll need a good quality lux meter, which you can buy for less than $60 (if you have a safety officer, he or she may already have this device).
You should measure lux levels at four to five different points in each space, usually one to two hours after sunrise or before sunset. If the space is mostly used at night, do the test at night. Likewise, if it is mostly used during the day, do the test in the daytime.
|In these areas...
|...aim for this level of lighting*.
|Office space
Entrance foyers and reception areas
|320 lux
|Filing and storage rooms, walkways in open
plan areas, seminar rooms
|240 lux
|Live storage fine material
|160 lux
|Passageways and toilet blocks
Live storage bulky items
|80 lux
* These levels are minimum averages, with a time allowance built in to compensate for lamp outputs dropping over time and dust accumulating on fittings.
Manage reflectance
Reflectance is the amount of light that bounces back off a surface (eg. wall or ceiling).
A lighter coloured room with a 90/70/20% reflectance ratio (ceiling/walls/floor respectively) requires 70% less energy to create the equivalent illuminance of a room with a ratio of (70/40/20%). Compare these figures with the absolute minimum reflectance recommended by the New Zealand Green Building Council (65% ceiling and 40% wall reflectance).
Lighter-coloured rooms provide better daylight distribution and improve brightness ratios, thereby creating spaces that are more visually comfortable. These significant improvements are possible at little or no additional cost - rooms need to be repainted every few years so why not try lighter tones to brighten your space?
Cellular office
In a small office it should be possible to vary the lighting level to suit the task at hand and the amount of daylight entering the space. Typical reading and writing work in such an environment requires lighting to 320 lux.
Switching or control systems should be configured so that staff can adapt the lighting levels as necessary. An occupancy detector can also be used to switch off lighting when no one is in a room.
Large open plan office
In this type of space, you need to take into account the needs of a broad range of people and task requirements: there are workplaces, conference and meeting spaces, material storage and circulation spaces.
Try to limit glare from light fittings, windows and other bright surfaces from any viewing angle. This is easier said than done in offices where desk locations can't be moved around easily. To maximise the efficiency of the lighting system, its design and implementation should be carried out as part of an integrated fit-out, where lights are designed with desk location and orientation in mind.
Conference / meeting / board rooms
The lighting should be adaptable to meet the range of tasks that go on (eg. fine detail work, informal discussions, slideshows and video conferencing).
Lighting on the meeting table should be at least 320 lux but you should be able to reduce this to around 240 lux when tasks require less detail. You may need to be able to reduce light levels further if a data projector and screen is to be used. Avoid too much directional lighting over the central table if you don't want people's faces looking unnatural due to shadowing. And keep the surrounding vertical walls brightly lit to avoid contrast between people's faces and the background.

Taste challenge
TAKE THE CHALLENGEHeres what the tasters found when we compared the two. The winner? You decide.Try the Sriracha vs. Tabasco challenge and let us know what you think. Send us your results in 50 words or less. Include a photo if you want. Well publish some of the best in the Standard and on aikenstandard.com in November. Send it to Chris Walsh at firstname.lastname@example.com. The deadline for submissions is Nov. 5.
They are two of the biggest players in a chili-fired challenge playing out in homes and restaurants across America. Ladies and gentlemen, meet our contenders:
In one corner, a dapper, classically labeled slim glass bottle filled with tangy McIlhenny Co.s Tabasco Pepper Sauce. In the other, a brawny plastic bottle sporting several languages, a strutting rooster and Huy Fong Foods Inc.s Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce.
In the vast world of chili-pepper-pungent condiments, these two very different characters demand attention. Sure, there are dozens (hundreds?) of such sauces out there, from vinegar-dominant ones such as Tabasco (Franks Red Hot fans, we hear you) as well as more than a dozen sriracha-style sauces judging by the bottles of the stuff honoring tigers, dragonflies and more on Amazon.com.
But if youre going to hold a smackdown, you go with the guys making the most noise, and judging by the condiment selections at restaurants, Huy Fongs pulpy sriracha, at 32 years old, is an up-and-comer in a world long dominated by McIlhennys 144-year-old Tabasco
Tabasco sets the gold standard as the king of Louisiana/Cajun-style hot sauces. If Tabasco is the Coca-Cola of hot sauces, sriracha might be the Red Bull, says Packaged Facts David Sprinkle.
Tabasco sells about $100 million at retail annually, and somewhat more than that through restaurants and food service, emailed Sprinkle, publisher of the Rockville, Md., consumer market researcher. Huy Fongs sriracha sales are less clear, but it does not have the high-volume chain restaurant penetration. Still, Huy Fongs cranks out some 20 million bottles a year, according to news reports.
Srirachas hip cred has been fueled by high-profile chefs who use it and mainstream eateries setting it out on tables.
Credit Americas increasingly foodie bent, which includes relish of global hot and spicy flavors, says Sprinkle. The foodie sensibility adventurous, multicultural, urban and egalitarian _ has displaced gourmet in defining the kinds of eating experiences that the trendiest food consumers most want.
But how do these two work in the kitchen? Does the vinegary tang and chili burn of Tabasco play well with the same foods as the ketchup-thick, sweet and garlicky sriracha?
The garlic, with its own tongue-tingling effects, in sriracha, is at least as important as the chilies, suggests Sprinkle, giving sriracha a more rounded flavor that has a broad appeal.
All these help sriracha serve as almost as a sauce or dressing, rather than a single-note condiment, perfect for those who want to add instant kick and flair to quickly prepared foods.
Heres what our tasters found when we compared the two. The winner? You decide.
Sriracha vs. Tabasco
HUY FONGS SRIRACHAWhats in a name: A Thai beach/seaport named Si Racha where a similar sauce is served with seafood.Made: In the USA (Rosemead, Calif.)Label lore: Natural colorIngredients: Chili, sugar, salt, garlic, distilled vinegar, potassium sorbate, sodium bisulfite as preservatives, and xanthan gum.Cost: 39 cents per ounceFirepower: Uses red jalapeno peppersThe TastingOn its own: Pastelike sauce, with an off-the-vine red pepper scent and fruity, garlicky, chili pepper taste with a trace of sweetness. Moderate heat that lingers.On rice: Rounds out the rice; rice tames the heat. Just right amount of heat. Too sweet with rice.On chicken: Chicken tames the heat. Plain chicken doesnt hold up; garlic rubbed or strong seasonings would complement. Great bright flavor. Good for those who like spicy barbecue sauce.With tomato juice: Adds a subtle sweetness to the already semi-sweet juice. Complements the juices acidity. Better for those who want heat but no change in sweetness.Also try with: Crab cakes, black bean soup, fried fish sticks, salty Asian dishes, pho and dishes with citrus notes such as kumquat, tangerine or lemon grass.TABASCOWhats in a name: Variety of Capsicum frutescens. A state in Mexico across the Gulf of Mexico from Louisiana where such peppers grow.Made: In the USA (Avery Island, La.)Label lores: So much more than hot.Ingredients: Distilled vinegar, red pepper, saltCost: $2.09 per ounceFirepower: Uses Tabasco peppersThe TastingOn its own: Clean, bright and tart with pleasing vinegar bite, although some found that acidic punch too much when tasted straight.On rice: Fruity, lively. Overwhelmed the rice. A few drops perks up plain rice. So vinegary hot.On chicken: Cuts through the fat, nice contrast. Masks chicken taste too much. Nice with richness of chicken.With tomato juice: Nice foil to sweet juice. Yummy. Move over, the other sauce may be the new mixer in town.Also try with: Gazpacho, guacamole, fries, onion rings, fried fish, shrimp, sausages, gumbo.

Young, gay, and black in D.C.: Reaching the HIV/AIDS epidemic's most at-risk group
- The Whitman-Walker Clinic reaches out to D.C.'s positive
Last week, the Centers for Disease Control released new figures charting the spread of the HIV epidemic among gay and bisexual men of color: In cities like D.C., one in three black men who have sex with men is HIV-positive, and new infections among young black men are higher than in any other group. Justin Goforth, community health director for the Whitman-Walker Clinic, agreed to speak with me about patterns of infection among the District's black gay men—how the District can reach those at greatest risk of HIV.
For a sexual health provider like the Whitman-Walker clinic, getting HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment to black, gay men is particularly challenging. "In the black community, there has been a historic lack of access to healthcare, which leads to a lack of trust in the healthcare system," Goforth says. "Many black men who have sex with men also don't associate themselves with the gay community, because the stigma in the black community is much larger than it is in the white community."
In order to provide care, the Whitman-Walker Clinic also must contend with the District's cycle of poverty, which manifests itself in patterns of infection. "In the black gay community, very young black men tend to have their first sexual experiences and relationships with older black MSM," Goforth says. "It's a very resource-driven situation. For young black MSM from urban areas, their peers don't have the resources that they need—a place to stay, food on the table, pay my cell phone bill." So when these young men come out, they risk losing the financial support of their families, and will "generally turn to older black men who have resources" for relationships, Goforth says.
And those relationships can create a power imbalance that denies these young men sexual agency. "Young, black MSM in this situation feel like they don't have the power to say, 'I want us to use condoms, I want to protect my body, I want to have safe sex,'" Goforth says. "It's this really bad repeating cycle of older black MSM infecting younger black men, who are then aging into the over-30 age range, and are being sought out by younger men. That scenario is very scary."
In order to address these factors, the Whitman-Walker Clinic runs an east-of-the-river clinic that "specifically targets Ward 7 and Ward 8 for testing, counseling, and treatment." Its mobile testing unit frequents "any venues that we can get access to that specifically target MSM of color," like Delta, Bachelor's Mill, and Crew Club. Whitman-Walker also partners with organizations like Metro Teen AIDS, the Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League, Black Pride, and Youth Pride to reach local young men. And the clinic runs several support groups for HIV-positive black MSM, including "Healthy Relationships," a five-week working group, and "Plus One," a peer mentorship program for newly-infective positive men.
But the District population that's most at-risk for infection—young, black men who have sex with men—may be too young to even get onto WWC's radar. "So much of our successful outreach happens at clubs and bars and venues that bring the gay commnunity out," Goforth says. "But younger men are not involved in that, because they're not old enough to get in."
According to Goforth, District schools must ramp up their sexual education efforts in order to fill the gap. "We really need to reach those kids before they're of legal age, in high school and junior high, if not before," Goforth says. "Who's doing education about healthy intimate relationships and sexual health for 12-, 13-, and 14-year-olds? I doubt it's the parents, and I doubt that our educational system is doing the appropriate education at those ages. But if we don't do it at that age, then we have 16-, 17-, and 18-year-olds coming in testing positive. How else do you reach that person?"

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
By Steve Grace
After reading the two articles of February 6 and February 13 about Duxbury's financial problems, I feel the need to address publicly some of the serious and long-festering issues identified in these articles. When I read the first article of February 6, it was readily apparent that this article was much more a personal defense/endorsement of Duxbury's town clerk than it was a "news" article. The bias was so blatant that it practically slapped the reader in the face. But ... biased reporting is not a rare occurrence in The Valley Reporter so I did not get too worked up about it.
The second article (February 13), however, is much more alarming. Even the obvious bias cannot obscure the fact that there are some very serious issues going on in the Duxbury town clerk/treasurer's accounting of funds, monitoring of the finances of the town and working in concert with the select board to conduct the business of the town. The few quotes in the article from an independent audit of the situation makes it quite clear that the town treasurer's role at the time of the controversies was very poorly – maybe incompetently is a better descriptor – performed.
If you are truly interested in a non-biased discussion of this issue, why not publish in its entirety the letter from the independent auditor on the findings of that person's investigation?
I have no axe to grind in this long-festering confrontational relationship between the select board and the town clerk/treasurer or, for the sake of accuracy, the former town treasurer, Ken Scott. I have never had a cross word with Ken; he has always greeted me graciously and treats me well. But I also know and greatly respect some of the select board members; I've known a couple of them for decades and I can attest to the fact that they are intelligent, hardworking, honest public servants with nothing but the best interests of our town on their agendas. (And, incidentally, if you're looking for people who are grossly underpaid for their services to our town, look no further than the select board. These people make a fraction of the money that the town clerk earns per hour of work.)
One glaring fact stands out in this long-running dysfunctional working relationship between the select board and the town clerk: Select board members have come and gone through the years; Ken Scott has remained as the town clerk. And the confrontation and animosity never goes away. No matter the composition of the select board, the lack of communication and cooperation continues. I would think that this would send a message to the most casual of observers as to what and who is the root of the problem.
I'm finally fed up with it. To reinstall Ken Scott as town treasurer seems to me to be a ludicrous option. And I feel the same way about his continuance as town clerk.
Steve Grace lives in Duxbury.

WARRENSBURG A leading journalist of the southern Adirondacks will soon be loading his motorcycle into the back of his pickup truck, tossing in a couple of suitcases —and leaving his hometown of Warrensburg behind, heading for Idaho.
And it won't be to write a travelogue.
Jon Alexander of Warrensburg — who launched his news-reporting career with Denton Publications — is moving to Twin Falls, Idaho to become the editorial writer and Editor of Community Engagement of the Twin Falls Times-News.
Alexander started off as a reporter for the Adirondack Journal in 2008, and in 2009 served as Editor of the North Creek News Enterprise. Later that year, he was named Assistant News Director of radio station WNBZ of Saranac Lake. Since 2011, he's been a high-profile reporter for the Post-Star in Glens Falls, primarily covering governmental affairs and breaking news. For most of his journalism career, he's also reported for North Country Public Radio, based in Canton.
Alexander's last day at the Post-Star is Aug. 3, and on Aug. 19 he starts in his new position, writing editorials and creating the opinion pages for the Times-News. Both newspapers are owned by Lee Enterprises.
Alexander is well-known for his articles, many of which have explored the quirky elements of human behavior underlying political activities and processes.
Alexander credits his studies in anthropology, which he said has offered him insights into the parallels between primate behavior and political dynamics.
"While our closest primate relatives form alliances by killing and sharing the meat, humans are good at forming committees," he said. "I like to look at the actions of legislative bodies through an evolutionary perspective."
One of Alexander's top achievements was his report on how Gov. Andrew Cuomo was clamping down on public access to information in his adminstration, and the fears and resentments it sparked. The article prompted a response from the Cuomo administration, and some observers say the Governor has since backed off on the approach.

Dan Dan noodles are incredible. Always a great snack if you need a little something spicy and you are in the area The spicy fish dishes are amazing. You are not going to here to eat your standard Chinese food. Go looking to explore real szechuan cuisine and you will leave very happy.

We followed the lead of previous reviewers and were delighted with fish in red chili sauce; mapo tofu; shredded chicken in garlic; and dumplings. But especially awesome was the lamb in cumin with chilis. The service was a bit abrupt, but that was offset by my friend, MK, picking up the tab! Thanks.

I was introduced to this restaurant about four months ago, and I have returned five times so far. I turned some other good friends to this place and now they too have made return trip.....without me! It is excellent. If you are a serious foodie, you owe yourself this one, especially if you like lamb. Get the cumin lamb...it's like .....heaven. Add to it the spicy bean curd with pork....divine.
Posted by Happy Diners on 05/07/2010
Food is really authentic here and the pricing is hard to beat for midtown lunch. We love, love, love fiery spicy szechuan dishes. We totally agree on just ordering what they're best for to get the best deal! :)
Posted by Dave on 04/21/2010
This has been a consistently good place for true Szechuan and a real treat if you are into the hot stuff. However, the prices are getting out of control. Shouldn't cost this much.
Posted by Emmy on 04/07/2010
There's a reason this place is so crowded at lunchtime. Authentic food and spice level is perfect. Got there just before noon and place was filled by 12:30. Garlic spicy chicken lunch special was wonderful – just enough spice to make you sweat a little bit and the chicken was all good pieces – none were fatty or gritty like at some places. Food came out within 5 minutes of ordering it. Service wasn't rushed even though it was crowded. I just left and am already thinking of going back tomorrow.

Bill To Protect Children From Toxic Pesticides Dies
The pesticide industry, a strong opponent of AB1006, claimed the proposal would weaken pest management in schools, posing a threat to students by exposing them to disease carrying pests such as rats. However, pesticide use is unnecessary because safer alternatives, such as cultural, biological and structural strategies, can successfully control pest problems. Additionally, conventional pest control tends to ignore the causes of pest infestations and instead rely on routine, scheduled pesticide applications. These are often temporary fixes, ineffective over the long term, since most common pests are now resistant to many insecticides. For effective pest control, it is absolutely necessary to identify the source of the problem, determine why the pest is present and modify its habitat. For example, since weeds tend to like soils that are compacted, the solution is not the temporary control achieved by killing them, but the adoption of practical strategies to make the soil less attractive to the weeds.
AB1006 critics also
claim school pesticide applications are nothing to worry about since
pesticides undergo testing by government agencies, and they are applied
at night when students and staff are not present. Firstly, EPA states
that no pesticide is considered "safe," despite testing. Furthermore,
pesticides present a risk no matter what time they are applied. Residues
can linger for hours, days and even months after an application is made.
It all depends on the type of chemical applied and the conditions that
may apply to its degradation. For example, airborne concentrations of
seven insecticides were tested three days following their application
in separate rooms. Six of the seven pesticides left residues behind
through the third day. A 1998 study found that Dursban (chlorpyrifos)
accumulated on furniture, toys and other absorbent surfaces up to two
weeks after application.
