Recipe by Campbell's Kitchen
"Slow-cooking the chicken before shredding makes it especially tender and flavorful...when that chicken is layered with tortillas and cheese, you've got a simple, family-friendly casserole."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (1 ounce) package
mild taco seasoning mix
5 1/4 cups
Swanson® Chicken Stock
2 tablespoons
2 (10.75 ounce) cans
Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (Regular or 98% Fat Free)
fajita-size flour tortillas (10-inch), cut into 1-inch pieces
4 cups
shredded Mexican cheese blend
Hot cooked regular long-grain white rice
I made it and it was great but I have one question... it is unclear whether you add the broth that was used to cook the chicken in back into the final pot. I did and it made A LOT. Serves more than 6. The next time I make it, I will try not adding that back in and see what happens.
Chicken was great however I didn't care for the tortillas in it and I didn't want to serve it on rice with the tortillas in it. If I make it again I wouldn't add the tortillas and serve it on rice or just put the chicken in whole tortillas. I did add Rotel and green onion as others suggested.

Very good as is, but next time I will add black beans. I cooked this in a glass 8x8 dish, but it bubbled over, so of course i will be using a different casserole dish next time as well, but an over all hit with every member of my family. Will definitely be put in our monthly rotation.
Super yummy comfort food. Just watch the salt. Would be best with low sodium taco seasoning and low sodium soup.
I think this recipe is a great base to experiment with. I knew that I'd find it bland as written, so I made a few changes. I sauteed some onion and garlic in the butter. Then added a cup of salsa, a can of black beans, and some green chilis. I then reduced the amount of chicken broth substantially. I was happy with the results, especially the leftovers. Next time I'll skip the small can of green chilis and instead add roasted poblano peppers, cilantro, and some cayenne pepper.
This recipe was really good. It made a huge amount. I made it in one of those large foil pans. I drained a can of Rotel and added that to the top before the last layer of cheese. I also added black beans. The next time I make it, I will add some garlic to the sauted butter and maybe a few peppers.
Tasty but a little too moist. Next time I'll cut down on the liquid.
My kid who hates everything loves it!

While BlackBerry may be asking their customers to wait until the Super Bowl before having a chance to see their commercial regarding BlackBerry 10 devices, Samsung has taken a different approach for their ad. Officially, their Super Bowl ad will be seen during the fourth quarter of today's big game, but in advance of that, the South Korean company decided to release their ad on the Internet.
The two minute ad has already been viewed more then 177,000 times on YouTube. Of the people that have seen it, 1,340 have given the commercial a thumbs up and this amounts to an 88% positive rating by viewers that have taken the time to rate the ad. With Apple being one of Samsung's biggest competitors, you might think that Samsung would go after them just a bit, but quite to the contrary, this is not the case with this ad. Instead, Samsung uses the star power of Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd and LeBron James to introduce "The Next Big Thing."
This year, a 30 second ad on the Super Bowl is selling for $3.8 million so Samsung's 120-second clip is believed to have generated $15.2 million in revenue for the CBS network. We've included the ad below. Check it out and let us know if this was money well spent by Samsung to build their Galaxy brand which includes the Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Galaxy Note II.

Welcome to Ace Ecig Review
The experts at Ace Ecig Review are devoted to providing people with the latest information and reviews about vapor cigarettes. Many smokers are interested in using a vapor cigarette because vaporizing is becoming popular & generally is much cheaper than traditional cigarettes.
With a personal vapor cigarette, you only heat up the material to the point at which it produces vapor instead of to the point of combustion, which produces harmful smoke. Most users find that they no longer suffer from coughing, sinus problems and offensive odors on their clothing when they switch to vaporizing.
Because there is such a wide variety of vapor cigarettes for customers to choose from, it can be difficult to figure out which one is the best one for any particular person. This is where expert reviews can really help. Reviews let people see beyond the hype about e-cigarettes and will give them the knowledge they need to make an informed purchase.
This site will provide objective, unbiased reviews of every type of vapor cigarette that's available on the market. What's more, there will be plenty of information about e-liquids, which provide a pleasant alternative to conventional cigarettes.
Instead of having to purchase each electronic cigarette and test it for themselves, consumers can take advantage of all the reviews on this site as they make product comparisons.
For example, readers can quickly see the difference between different brands and models. They'll get answers to such common questions as how does each electronic cigarette work? How do you recharge the battery? Is it a disposable device or one that will last a long time? Some vaporizers work with pre-filled cartridges, some use e-liquid while others allow the user to customize how much tobacco to vaporize.
The reviews available on this site will provide a great overview of the different options for vaporizing and will be suitable for beginners as well as experts.
Anyone who has questions about e-cigarettes or wants to learn more about the various accessories available to use with them will definitely want to check out this site on a regular basis to get all the latest reviews.

Clemens Schattschneider Austrian Big Air Champ
Pre-event favourite Clemens Schattschneider has clinched the Austrian Big Air Nationals which took place as part of "Haus Moasters 5" on the Planai in Schladming, Austria.
The rider from Lower Austria triumphed with his well-executed backside double cork 1080 (92.67).
"This jump is part of my safe tricks. I stomped it quite nicely and luckily it was good enough for the first place. It's nice to end my season with a win," said the former Big Air World Cup title winner (2011).
It was his second big air title since Sillian 2009 and his fourth in total after having also triumphed in 2010 in the halfpipe and slopestyle competition.
Tyrolean Roland Hörtnagl (backside double cork 1080, 90.00) and Salzburg side resident Mathias Weissenbacher (87.33) rounded out the podium as second and third respectively.

Ted Cruz: Gay marriage could lead to prosecution of pastors for 'hate speech'
"If you look at other nations that have gone down the road toward gay marriage, that's the next step of where it gets enforced. It gets enforced against Christian pastors who decline to perform gay marriages, who speak out and preach biblical truths on marriage, and that has been defined elsewhere as hate speech," said Cruz.

The 35-year-old has succeeded Chris Kiwomya at the helm of the struggling Magpies as he returns to the club where his professional career began in the mid-1990s.
The Nottingham-born midfielder went on to play for seven other clubs, including Sheffield United, Portsmouth, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Leeds, where he became friends with his choice for assistant manager Greg Abbott, making almost 600 career appearances.
Derry takes charge of a team rooted to the foot of League One with a tricky FA Cup first-round trip to Hartlepool looming on Saturday, but he is determined not to become the latest short-term manager at the club.
"That stat is there for a reason and I'm not worried," Derry told Sky Sports News.
"It's a club that's not found the right balance and hopefully I am the kind of guy who is going to bring stability and a bit of enjoyment to the fans here because it's been an up and down time for Notts County fans in recent years.
"I remember very well the time I was supporting here and watching Neil Warnock and the great strides he made for Notts County. I am not saying I'm going to replicate that by any stretch of the imagination but what I can do is say that I am going to give absolutely everything for this club and myself.
"I have always said that this is the first result I look for after my own after playing for 20 years. It's the first port of call for me to see how Notts County have got on.
"Thankfully for me I am going to be able to run things from the sideline with a lot of help from Greg. I wouldn't be stood here without Greg Abbott as he is coming in here with the experience that's required for this job as well. I am coming here for the fundamentals that I bring to the football club so I am really looking forward to the challenge. It's a big challenge obviously.
"We have had a great morning this morning, the players have been absolutely fantastic. They were switched on on day one - you can't ask for anything else really - and I am really looking forward to Saturday's game."
Derry will not be able to continue his playing career and has hung up his boots for the time being having already turned out for Championship sides QPR and Millwall - he was on loan at The Den until January - this season.
He added: "What I have always said, especially this last two or three years, is that I am going to be the judge of when I finish.
"I didn't want to be rolling myself out there at 38, 39 getting stick from everyone saying 'you've had it'. I wanted to make that decision myself and as soon as this opportunity came my way I wanted to take it with both hands.
"It's disappointing to stop playing. Hopefully we can strike a deal with the authorities to enable me to still be a player for Notts County as well as manager. But I want to make the right impression on the boys. I want to give them a chance to show what they can do."

Nearly every man has had a headache, and most of us have had many. A minor headache is little more than a nuisance that's relieved by an over-the-counter pain reliever, some food or coffee, or a short rest. But if your headache is severe or unusual, you might worry about stroke, a tumor, or a blood clot. Fortunately, such problems are rare. Still, you should know when a headache needs urgent care and how to control the vast majority of headaches that are not threatening to your health.
Not brain pain
Doctors don't fully understand what causes nine out of 10 headaches. They do know that the brain tissue and the skull are never responsible since they don't have nerves that register pain. But the blood vessels in the head and neck can signal pain, as can the tissues that surround the brain and some major nerves that originate in the brain. The scalp, sinuses, teeth, and muscles and joints of the neck can also cause head pain.
When to worry
You can take care of many types of headaches by yourself, and your doctor can give you medication to control most of the tougher ones. But some headaches call for prompt medical care. Here are some warning signs:
Headaches that first develop after age 50
A major change in the pattern of your headaches
An unusually severe "worst headache ever"
Pain that increases with coughing or movement
Headaches that get steadily worse
Changes in personality or mental function
Headaches that are accompanied by fever, stiff neck, confusion, decreased alertness or memory, or neurological symptoms such as visual disturbances, slurred speech, weakness, numbness, or seizures
Headaches that are accompanied by a painful red eye
Headaches that are accompanied by pain and tenderness near the temples
Headaches after a blow to the head
Headaches that prevent normal daily activities
Headaches that come on abruptly, especially if they wake you up
Headaches in patients with cancer or impaired immune systems
Headache categories
There are more than 300 types of headaches, but only about 10% of headaches have a known cause. The others are called primary headaches. Here is a rundown on some major primary headaches.
Tension-type headaches
Occurring in about three of every four adults, tension headaches are the most common of all headaches. In most cases, they are mild to moderate in severity and occur infrequently. But a few people get severe tension headaches, and some are troubled by them three or four times a week.
The typical tension headache produces a dull, squeezing pain on both sides of the head. People with strong tension headaches may feel like their head is in a vise. The shoulders and neck can also ache. Some tension headaches are triggered by fatigue, emotional stress, or problems involving the muscles or joints of the neck or jaw. Most last for 20 minutes to two hours.
If you get occasional tension-type headaches, you can take care of them yourself. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, other brands) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, naproxen (Aleve, other brands), or ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, other brands) often do the trick, but follow the directions on the label, and never take more than you should. A heating pad or warm shower may help; some people feel better with a short nap or light snack.
If you get frequent tension-type headaches, try to identify triggers so you can avoid them. Don't get overtired or skip meals. Learn relaxation techniques; yoga is particularly helpful because it can relax both your mind and your neck muscles. If you clench your jaw or grind your teeth at night, a bite plate may help.
If you need more help, your doctor may prescribe a stronger pain medication or a muscle relaxant to control headache pain. Many people with recurrent tension-type headaches can prevent attacks by taking a tricyclic antidepressant such as amitriptyline (Elavil, Vanatrip, generic). Fortunately, most people with tension-type headaches will do very well with simpler programs.

TRANSCRIPTOME 2002: From Functional Genomics to Systems
Prepare a Set of Human cDNA Clones Encoding Large Proteins in an Expression-Ready Form
Takahiro Nagase, Noriko Okazaki, Daisuke Nakajima, Hisashi Yamakawa, Reiko Kikuno, and Osamu Ohara, Kazusa DNA Research Institute/Department of Human Gene Research, Kisarazu, Chiba, JAPAN
We have focused our sequencing efforts on long cDNAs (>4 kb) encoding relatively large proteins (>500 a.a.) from brain. The total number of cDNAs entirely sequenced (KIAA plus some of FLJ cDNAs) has exceeded 2000. Besides these cDNA clones, we have also accumulated more than 1500 cDNA clones coding for large proteins first identified by other groups. However, the coding sequences of some cloned cDNAs were predicted to be truncated due to incompleteness of the cDNAs or spurious interruption by intron(s) and/or reverse transcription error(s). Although we have continuously updated our cDNA sequences through experimentally revising these spurious coding interruption as far as possible, our cDNA clones cannot always produce the authentic proteins because these revisions have been made only in sequence information. Thus, preparation of a set of expression-ready cDNA clones encoding large proteins becomes our urgent mission because this must play a critical role for comprehensive functional analysis of human genes. We have conducted manual curation of our cDNA clones one by one to yield cDNA clones which can produce authentic KIAA proteins by combination of currently available methods. Because large cDNAs are generally difficult targets to obtain in an expression-ready form, our efforts will provide an invaluable human gene resource to the research community.

Fatal Crash on I-495
On the morning of July 23, 2015, Minquadale Fire Company was dispatched to a motor vehicle collision with rollover. Asst. Chief Taylor responded to the scene to find a two vehicle crash with one vehicle on its roof. Asst. Chief Taylor confirmed there was one subject trapped in the overturned vehicle and requested additional resources to the scene. A-22 arrived shortly after and FF/EMTs Winnington and Comely stabilized the vehicle and began extrication using the Maverick tool off of A-22. New Castle County Paramedics arrived and pronounced the trapped person dead at the scene. 4 patients from the second vehicle were treated at the scene and transported to Christiana Hospital. Occupants of both vehicles were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash. I-495 was shut down for 3.5 hours as Delaware State Police conducted their investigation.
Swanwyck Community Day

Where can you find pink four-story homes with entrances adorned with palm trees and built-in hamster doors? A kids painting camp, that's where.
Held at the R.L. Jones Center, Diana Connors' Back Porch Art taught kids techniques and the intricacies of using a paintbrush.
Each day, kids contructed different masterpieces.
Monday's painting was Olaf from the Disney picture "Frozen;" Tuesday's depicted the famous "minions" from "Despicable Me," and Wednesday's was Charleston's Rainbow Row, located on East Bay Street.
"I would have to live in a house with some colors," said camp attendee Mary-Coline Harris, admiring her artwork.
Yellow and blue homes were decked with double-door entrances, framed windows and flower pots.
Camp attendee Mary Coleman was kind enough to add doggy and hamster doors for pets.
"They're so into it," said Connors of her young artists.
"They come up with ideas and cool things that I don't think of."
It was the kids' idea to add a crescent moon in the night sky that serves as the Rainbow Row paintings' backdrop.
Ema Bellino, a volunteer, expressed her astonishment at the kids' pro-like material.
"Some kids are seven years old and make them (paintings) look like a 30-year-old did it," Bellino said. Back Porch Art literally began on Connors' back porch. Now, she travels and hosts painting parties for youth and adults. Her newest addition is the "Paint that Shape" wooden door ornament for adult painting parties.

Product description
Taking us back roughly 45 million years into the Eocene, 'the dawn of recent life', Chris Beard, a world-renowned expert on the primate fossil record, offers a tantalizing new perspective on our deepest evolutionary roots. In a fast-paced narrative full of vivid stories from the field, he reconstructs our extended family tree, showing that the first anthropoids - the diverse and successful group that includes monkeys, apes, and humans - evolved millions of years earlier than was previously suspected and emerged in Asia rather than Africa. In "The Hunt for the Dawn Monkey", Beard chronicles the saga of two centuries of scientific exploration in search of anthropoid origins, from the early work of Georges Cuvier, the father of paleontology, to the latest discoveries in Asia, Africa, and North America's Rocky Mountains. Against this historical backdrop, he weaves the story of how his own expeditions have unearthed crucial fossils - including the controversial primate Eosimias - that support his compelling new vision of anthropoid evolution. The only book written for a wide audience that explores this remote phase of our own evolutionary history, "The Hunt for the Dawn Monkey" adds a fascinating new chapter to our understanding of humanity's relationship to the rest of life on earth.

Review quote
"An entertaining, erudite, and informative narrative.... Beard parlays his formidable knowledge, experience, and energy into an exciting, thoughtful, integrative, and well-written book." - Glenn C. Conroy, Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, Reviews "Anyone interested in the history of the science of where we evolved from will appreciate and learn from The Hunt for the Dawn Monkey." - Bernard Wood, Geotimes "[A]n absorbing and interesting read. I learned more about the both the early history of the primates and about the often prickly characters that unearthed them, in gruelling desert expeditions, than from any other book I have read." - R. I. M. Dunbar, Times Literary Supplement (tls) "The story of The Hunt for the Dawn Monkey is not only interesting science but also a wonderful tale of perseverance and that essential for palaeontologists: good luck." - Douglas Palmer, New Scientist "Beard is to be applauded for bringing this chapter of our family history to light." - Nina Jablonski, California Wild "Beard's findings tell a startling scientific story." - Publishers Weekly"

I-95 dig offers a peek into 18th-century life
He found deeds, wills, letters, newspaper clippings, maps, diaries. The material took him to the first Remer in the colonies, a German butcher who lived on Shackamaxon Street by the Delaware River in the mid-1700s.
Then came unexpected news two weeks ago: Archaeologists for the state had unearthed 25,000 artifacts from a Fishtown property once owned by his great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, the butcher Godfrey Remer.
In six pits used as 18th-century Dumpsters, they found such household items as a painted pearlware bowl from England, a chamber pot, a fractured teapot. They dug up a bone button, a domino, a piece of a flute-like recorder.
They unearthed scraps from colonial meals: apple seeds, a peach pit, fish bones. And in undisturbed layers of earth, they chanced upon stone points from spears and arrows, probably wielded by Native American hunters 1,000 years ago.
All federal construction requires historical review of affected areas. In 1959, when work began on the Pennsylvania stretch of I-95, the mandate didn't exist. Now, with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, it does.
By happenstance, archaeologists picked for their investigation a sliver of land - 10 feet wide and more than 100 feet long - by a highway retaining wall on Shackamaxon Street. They had no clue beforehand that the plot was part of the backyard of a home that Godfrey Remer bought for his shipwright son, Matthew, in 1778 in what was then called Kensington and now Fishtown.

South Toledo Community Center seeks new homeWritten by Caitlin McGlade | | firstname.lastname@example.com
For two years, the bulky gray church at the corner of Walbridge Avenue and Broadway Street has stood as an uplifting symbol for thousands of Toledoans crushed by the South End's decline.
But this will likely change by the end of the year, when Cherry Street Mission's lease expires with Moawad Ball Holdings, LLC, the firm that purchased the building in 2006.
The firm bought the building at 1411 Broadway St. for $140,000 but has since put as much as $15,000 into the property and has accumulated debt in mortgage and taxes, said William Lowry of the Moawad Group, which operates Moawad Ball Holdings.
The company recently paid off property taxes for the building, after going from 2009 to 2012 without paying any, according to the Auditor's Real Estate Information System (AREIS).
Pastor called 'joker'
The South Toledo Community Center, which is run from the church, partners with Cherry Street Mission. The mission pays the rent and Pastor David Kaiser and his wife Kelly of Western Avenue Ministries operate the programs for low-income neighbors and the church services.
Rent costs $1,500 a month and Dan Rogers, president and CEO of Cherry Street Mission, said operating the outreach ministry would be more affordable if the partnership could buy its own building. Kaiser offered to buy the property for what Moawad Ball Holdings paid for it in 2006.
Lowry called Kaiser a "joker."
"I'll be darned if I'm going to put more money into his pockets," Lowry said. He said the firm already subsidizes $1,000 a month of Cherry Street Mission's rent. The mortgage costs $2,500 a month. Between the mortgage, the debts and the investment pumped into the building, Kaiser was told he would need $384,000 to purchase it.
That's just not doable, Kaiser said.
"The fundamental thing is that they bought the building in 2006, at the height of the real estate bubble," Kaiser said. "It feels like greed."
The building, with its dated infrastructure, has needed a lot of work throughout the years. When asked why the firm owns the building, Lowry said,"Stupidity."
Different approach
Sam Moawad of Moawad Ball Holdings has a different approach. Moawad bought the building when a church came to him asking for help finding a place to locate.
"We like to get involved in ministries," Moawad said. "We've been involved in the community and we know the cash flow and the economy is hard for everybody."
He also owns a smaller church on Western Avenue that he bought for $22,500 in 2005. Lowry said at least $60,000 in repairs went into that building. Moawad said his company has borrowed money to subsidize much of Cherry Street Mission's building expenses for the church because the mission does great work for the community.
A new real estate sign stands in the building's front lawn. Moawad said if he sells the place he wants to sell it to another church group.
Parenting classes have coached almost 130 moms and dads — as young as 14 years old — about discipline, self worth and gearing their kids toward college. Another program has offered hours to at least 60 welfare recipients to clean and cook, so they can meet the government-mandated work requirements to receive cash assistance.
The kitchen sent groceries home to at least 10,000 households last year. On average, the South Toledo Community Center serves 167 meals a day.
Outreach workers have knocked on countless doors to connect struggling Toledoans to aid services. Spanish-speaking workers have hit up the Hispanic neighborhoods, helping to bridge the language barrier between service providers and Toledoans who speak little English.
Talk of a free clinic in the second story had evolved into more concrete plans just last month, with a handful of doctors meeting to discuss logistics and equipment needs. Kaiser had also intended to set up a day care in partnership with the YMCA.
"But our hopes to transform the South End are in limbo," Kaiser said. "At the end of this year, we're going to have sort of nowhere to go."
Kaiser has a few options. The nearby Queen of Apostles offered to host the parenting courses and church services, but Kaiser said he fears that numbers will dwindle without the soup kitchen and food pantry.
Other buildings that might seem like options are older and mostly dilapidated. Kaiser was considering the La Garza building but repair costs could be immense. The block of brick buildings surrounding La Garza was constructed when Abraham Lincoln was president, Kaiser said.
Up in the air
As for the free clinic? The day care? It's all up in the air for now.
"These ideas have been in the brew for so long and I'm so confident with every closed door, a door will open," Rogers said.
The top priority is to keep services long-term — to implement a 12-to-15-year plan so that the outreach can cut through generations of poverty. The partnership between Kaiser and the mission will continue, Rogers said.
'I'm going to be lost'
Gege Sprague depends on it continuing. But she has a weak knee and no car — and if the church moves too far she'll have to stop going. Sprague, 52, lives down the street and her morning routine every day for the past two years has included breakfast from the soup kitchen.
"Whenever this church is open, I'm here," she said. "If they take this away from me I'm going to rot — I'm going to be lost."
Baby University, the parenting class, has educated her niece and her son. She eats many suppers at the soup kitchen and attends every church service she can. In a life challenged by two deaths — her son and spouse — and the subsequent years of working two jobs to support her three other kids, Sprague finds solace and healing behind the Broadway Street building's doors, she said.
Kaiser said many of his attendees face a similar plight: They don't have transportation. Making it a mile down the road on foot often hinders people in the neighborhood from making medical appointments or getting to the drug store, he said.
"If the new place is not within walking distance, I'm going to have to say goodbye," Sprague said.

Transcript:How to Make Spicy Southern Black-Eyed Peas
Hi, I'm Aubrey for About.com. Today, I'm going to show you how to make black eyed peas using a recipe from SouthernFood.About.com.
Ingredients for Spicy Southern Black-Eyed Peas
Before you get started, you'll need:
- 1 pound of dried black-eyed peas
- 4 ounces of diced salt pork or thick bacon
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 3-4 cloves minced garlic
- 1-2 cups diced, cooked ham
- 2 ribs of diced celery
- 1/2 of a red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 of a green bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
- ground hot pepper to taste
Prep the Spicy Southern Black-Eyed Peas
To begin, follow the directions on the package to prepare the black eyed peas. You can soak them overnight. If you prefer, pour them into a pot, add enough water to cover. Now boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Allow the black eyed peas to sit for an hour. Then drain. In the meantime, sauté the bacon or salt pork with the onion in a skillet until it is lightly browned.
Finish and Serve the Spicy Southern Black-Eyed Peas
Add this mixture to the black eyed peas. Now add the red pepper, add the green pepper, pour in the onion. Add the garlic. Add the cooked ham. Pour in the celery. Add the cajun seasoning. Sprinkle with salt. Now add the pepper. Add the hot pepper to taste. Pour in enough water to cover the mixture. Stir well. Simmer on low for 1-1/2 -- 2-1/2 hours. Serve while still hot with rice, spinach, or cornbread.

Jeff Taylor, co-founder, CEO and Director of Coffee Operations for PT's Coffee Roasting Co., founded PT's Coffee in 1993.
Prior to creating PT's with business partner Fred Polzin, Jeff was an award-winning photojournalist for several newspapers and wire services, including the Topeka Capital Journal.
He has been published in many national publications, including Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, USA Today, ESPN The Magazine, Associated Press and REUTERS News Service.
Jeff earned a number of awards from the Associated Press, Inland Press, and the National Press Photographers Association, including "Region 9 Photographer of the Year in 1990" before retiring from Photojournalism in 2004 to pursue coffee passions full-time.
Jeff worked with many others to develop, what eventually became the United States Barista Competition dating back to 1999. In that year a member of PT's staff placed second in the little known Torani Barista Competition. As a member of the founding committee for the United States Barista Competition, Jeff traveled around the world judging the USBC, Mexican National Barista Competition and the World Barista Competition in the competition's formative years. But after several years of voluntary service, he returned to focus on buying coffee for PT's and began the work of developing PT's Coffee Roasting Co.'s Direct Trade Program.
After his work with the competition Jeff was nominated, and subsequently accepted, a position on the Specialty Coffee Association of America's Board of Directors, serving one term.
While serving on the board for the SCAA, Jeff made the transition to Coffee Buyer for PT's Coffee and began the process of building relationships with producers around the world, specifically with the best producers in each country. To this day, Jeff travels to meet with our coffee-producing partners in Central & South America and Africa, to experiment, source and evaluate the harvests from each farm, and develop a strategy of partnering on social projects. This direct relationship with the producer guarantees that the price paid for the coffee goes straight to the farmer and not through a third-party middleman.

Fred Polzin, co-founder of PT's Coffee Roasting Co., was born in Hoisington, Kansas, in 1963. Fred grew up in Emporia where he graduated from Emporia High School in 1981. He attended both Emporia State University and Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, majoring in Communications and Political Science.
Fred and Jeff decided to open their first coffeehouse in 1993.
Prior to that, Fred had managed a number of fast food restaurants including Burger King and Schlotzsky's, giving the partnership the experience it needed on the retail level to succeed.
As the small coffee house business began to take off, Fred left his full-time job with Schlotzsky's Corp., to pursue this new venture. PT's began roasting its own coffee for restaurants and coffee houses throughout northeast Kansas. Soon, the business expanded and additional coffeehouses were added.
In 1999, Fred led the charge to form PT's Coffee, a wholesale company and supplier of micro-roasted coffee in the Midwest. There is one retail location and well over 200 wholesale accounts across the country.

Maritza Taylor has been in the coffee industry since 1999. She began her career as a quality control analyst for the Colombian Coffee Federation (FNC) in Bogota, Colombia, serving in this capacity for five years.
She accepted a position with Neumann Coffee Group in Bogota, in 2003 to work with Quality Assurance for Specialty Coffee. Neumann Coffee Group has 46 companies in 28 countries offering green coffee services all over the world.
As part of her responsibility, Maritza was one of the first four coffee professionals in Colombia certified by the Quality Coffee Institute as a Q-Grader. Shortly thereafter, she became one of only seven Certified Instructors of the Q-Grader Program in Colombia.
Maritza is now the Director of Quality Control for PT's Coffee Roasting Co., based in Topeka, Kansas. She works to ensure all of our Direct Trade partners are meeting, or surpassing, our quality standards and continually building relationships with producers.

Adam Ross began his journey at PT's Coffee almost nine years ago as a barista at our original cafe. He worked on bar for more than three years before making his transition into roasting.
When Adam began roasting coffee, it was on our Diedrich IR-24. One of the most important factors of Adam's position, is maintaining consistency. The IR-24 is essentially a manual piece of equipment, meaning there is no computer monitoring system and everything has to be tracked by hand to maintain consistent roast profiles. Constant temperature monitoring, bean evaluation, and time all have to be accounted for during the roasting process.
Adam has seen PT's Coffee grow significantly in his time at PT's Coffee and is now our Head Roaster. In 2011, PT's purchased a 90-Kilo Gothot Roaster. Maintaining a consistent result on a roaster this big must be tracked and evaluated on each and every roast. Over the last five years, Adam has been an integral part of all of our 90+ scores on industry resource, Coffee Review.
Adam also plays a large role in our quality control. To maintain consistent results, he has implemented a tracking system of roast profiles that documents every single roast on each roaster. When green coffee arrives at PT's, he is often the one to see it. Adam is also actively involved in blend development. In addition to his quality control initiatives, Adam has a personality that can light up a room!

Brent has been with PT's since 2011 but is by no means new to our company. Together with his wife, he formerly managed one of PT's longest standing wholesale clients. Brent brings over ten years of management experience to his position as Director of Operations and Sustainability. Brent oversees coordination of our daily wholesale operations and financial management. Working directly with our Production and Sales Teams, our Customer Service, Design, and Marketing Staff, and our Directors of Coffee and Quality Control, he wears numerous hats for PT's.
Brent brings a unique and valuable expertise to our broader Sustainability and Direct Trade missions. He holds a Ph.D. in Geography and has taught over a dozen different courses in the Political Science Department at Washburn University, and the Geography Department and Environmental Studies Program at The University of Kansas. His advanced knowledge of environmental law and social justice issues is an asset to our evolving initiatives to encourage and support sustainable practices at origin and to broaden our educational capacity both domestically and abroad. His practical knowledge of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, climate and soil analysis, and biogeography provide us with an impressive opportunity to embolden our working relationships with our Direct Trade partners. Here at our roasting facility, this skill set also applies to Brent's initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint, institute everyday green practices, and develop partnerships with local farmers involving composting of production by-products.

Austin, a long time resident of Kansas City's Missouri and Kansas, began his career at PT's, part time in 2014's summer. It didn't take long for him to fall in love with his coworkers, shop, customers, and neighborhood as well as the craft of extracting excellent coffee. He counts himself privileged to represent PT's presence in his favorite city.
Austin has always had an itch for two things: people and adventure. His hobbies and interests are as spread apart and sporadic as the Midwest weather. A rock climbing, backpacking, movie-going, reading enthusiast, Austin can be found eating BBQ or sushi, enjoying folk or hip-hop, discussing theology or philosophy, and loving his Saint Bernard Boone and wife, Kaytlyn. He is currently building a tiny house and believes:
"We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us even in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts."
Do yourself and allow him the favor of serving you well-crafted coffee or espresso by visiting our shop in the crossroads district.
As a frequent customer of the original PT's Coffee Shop since moving to Kansas, Mike had fallen in love with the quality and variety of coffees they had to offer and serve. At the beginning of 2009, after having a bad day, he was at the shop ordering a drink and was approached by a guy who said loudly, "This is a guy who knows what he wants!" and from there would not shut up or leave him alone. The stranger asked Mike about where he was from, where he had lived, what he did, etc. Lo and behold after talking about the coffee there at the shop and how he preferred it over any other around, the man told him he was part owner, Jeff Taylor, and about what PT's Coffee Roasting Co. did to source the best beans and roast them to perfection. After talking a bit about the shop and coffee Mike was practically hired on the spot.
Mike started in February 2009 at the roasting facility in our office as the lead Customer Service Representative where he remained for almost three years getting to know all of our Wholesale Partners and many Retail Customers very well. As of January 2012 he had transitioned to production full time in the Warehouse, and has recently been trained on our IR 24 and has been roasting part time.
In almost 4 years from when he started, he has seen PT's grow and change, and is glad to have been there, and where we are today, and looks forward to see where we will be in the future.

Ozzie Mendoza is an Alabama transplant that came to work at PT's Coffee Roasting Co. with a purpose. As a college student, he spent a summer abroad in Tuscany, falling in love with Northern Italian-style espresso and the culture around it. When he returned to Alabama, he found a coffeehouse that served PT's La Bella Vita Espresso, and fell in love with it's quality. On a trip to Topeka, he had the opportunity to meet and talk with PT's owner, Jeff Taylor. That conversation found a shared excitement and philosophy about coffee and travel, and he knew that PT's was where he wanted to be.
As soon as he graduated, Ozzie moved to Topeka and quickly became a strong member of the barista team during the first year of PT's new Third Wave-style cafe, PT's at College Hill. He represented PT's as a team competitor in PT's inaugural Flatlander's Barista Cup and volunteered hours at the 2012 Big Central Regional Barista Championship. When he wasn't working at the cafe, he was assisting Maritza in the Quality Control lab as an assistant and second cupper. In this position, he developed his palate and immersed himself with knowledge directly from the Roasting Team.
Ozzie is currently part of the Customer Service and Sales Team and enjoys the opportunity it gives him to meet and share his knowledge with our wholesale and internet customers.

God deliver me from do-gooders run amok. Now the World Health Organization whants countries to ban smoking "E" cigarettes in public places. I have never been a smoker but find this to be the most absurd warning ever issued.
Begin with the basics, "E" cigarettes deliver nicotine but none of the other harmful items contained in tobacco smoke. The reason, it does not produce smoke but vapor which so far has not been found to contain the gunk and other junk contained in tobacco smoke. Moreover, nicotine is not the danger presented by tobacco smoke, it is the gunk and junk in the smoke that causes health problems.
With this in mind it appears that "E" cigarettes may be the best way to divert smokers from tobacco to less harmful "smoking." So a potentially good candidate for weaning people off tobacco gets canned by the WHO.
My problem here is that this action reflects the "take-no-prisoners" approach of all do-gooders convinced that their cause is just and justifies any means to achieve their goal. Witness the banning of soda pop from schools, purportedly to reduce sugar consumption by youngsters. However, it includes diet sodas which contain no sugar.
I would prefer that health commandos issue warnings for me, as an adult, to consider in making my life style choices. And while I do not smoke, I am happy to be with those who use "E" cigarettes.

Though there are many amazing baseball reference sources available online, one of the most difficult things to keep track of in the professional baseball sphere is organizational transactions. The rules are complex, the frequency staggering, with many, particularly at the minor league levels, going unreported altogether, even by the organization itself. As a Colorado Rockies blogger at Purple Row, every time I needed to find transaction material for certain players, I would have to go on a widespread hunt for the correct information. If I found it, I often wasn't even certain it was reliable. Indeed, the MLB transactions world is still difficult to navigate. With RockiesRoster, I am hoping it becomes just a little bit easier.
Before the 2010 season, I started a random fanpost on Purple Row. Entitled "Project Libra", an homage on the information gathering attack from the Final Fantasy series, I used these posts to track the daily progression of the entire Colorado Rockies domestic organization, from the MLB team all the way down to what were then the Casper Ghosts. My goal was to not only allow myself to learn more about the inner workings of the organization (and learn I did), but to simply collect a variety of information that could be ascertained from other reference sources, and put the pieces together to give a more complete, accurate representation of each individual player currently in our system, from contract details to remaining free option years, and so forth.
After the 2010 season finished, I intended to continue Project Libra on Purple Row for following seasons. I was contacted by Tim Zappe, who had an intriguing proposition. He offered to build Libra into its own separate web project, with a functional database to ease the difficulties of keeping track of such a large amount of data relating to the Colorado Rockies system. As you may have guessed, that project became what you see here today at RockiesRoster, where we are continuing to help the Rockies community have easy and quick access to a wide variety of player and team information that is otherwise difficult to find.

If it's true, as one British academic believes, that our brains are related to those of lizards, it's surprising that we have managed to get as far as we have as a civilization. Perhaps we're relatively well-developed lizards.
That said, events of the past few months have made it clear that short-term considerations continue to dominate the general view of life and therefore limit our prospects. In the Indonesian context, they certainly pose an uncertain future.
Combine the short-term view of life with the expediency of politics and it is quite likely that Indonesia is heading into a stage in which much of what has been gained over the past decade will be sacrificed to naked ambition.
At the same time as humanity with its lizard brain plans only for the next few years or even the next season and no further, other human characteristics come into play at times like this. In the literature of every culture, the most venomous character is the traitor. Despised by the bulk of humanity, the traitor is akin to the snake: venomous, slippery and loathsome. And, of course, the traitor is ever-present, driven by the short-term lure of power.
It could be argued that the treachery enacted by the members of the country's so-called coalition parties has outdone even the snake in these past few months, while the government has demonstrated itself to be inept at running the country.
The victims are likely to be not only the struggling poor who were touted by the opponents of the fuel price rise but all Indonesians, who now face the prospect of yet another round of political and economic instability just as the country appeared ready to move to a higher plane of development.
Benedict Anderson, early in his career as a student of Indonesia, argued that the concept of power in Javanese society bore no relationship to questions of morality. Power was a goal in itself and you did what you needed to do to get it.
And while Aburizal Bakrie is not Javanese, he appears to have learned the lesson well, putting the knife into the back of the so-called coalition government only a matter of hours before the critical vote on fuel subsidies. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, despite being Javanese, gained power and then did not appear to know what to do with it.
That was certainly true in the last days of March with protests in every major city, with students appearing to want to outdo each other in the degree of nuisance they could cause. And, some evidence suggests, money was passing hands to 'encourage' hot-headed youth to make trouble, in yet another replay of Indonesia's apparently tireless theater of political confrontation.
First fatal mistake
The government was set to fail from the day that it decided to put a tiny clause into the Budget bill for 2012, stating that the price of fuel would not rise. That proved to be a fatal mistake as, from the beginning of the year, oil prices began to rise and kept on rising.
Spurred on by all sorts of analysts from the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the major ratings agencies, the government finally decided to act and floated the idea of limiting access to subsidized fuels for car owners, deemed to be able to afford to pay the real market price.
That policy direction was major error number one. While fine in theory, in practice it demonstrated what can only be described as the incompetence of the country's decision-makers. Anyone who has ever had to look for gasoline outside the major cities would know that the only brand available is the subsidized Premium brand.
To impose the policy of restricting access to Premium across the country, operators of gas stations would have had to install new tanks, a not inconsiderable expense. All of this would also require considerable time to provide the tanks to the thousands of gas stations across the country. The plan was simply unworkable from day one.
Apparently unfazed by its embarrassing inability to consider the problem of logistics, the government then moved to another plan: simply raising the price of fuel. After all, it had succeeded in achieving this three times already since the beginning of the Yudhoyono administration in 2004.
The idea was first mooted early in February. Two months on, it was hard not to conclude that what initially was an impression of confusion and indecisiveness had been translated into stark reality. During that two-month period, the government allowed opposition to build so that forces that wanted to embarrass the administration were in a strong position to do so.
What the government should have learned from its earlier three successful gasoline price hikes was to impose higher prices quickly, without allowing the forces of opposition to organize.
It didn't. It prevaricated and, because of that single article in the Budget Law, was forced to go to the House of Representatives to clear the way. The rest is history.
The government should also have realized that it could not rely on its coalition of parties at the House, which had shown their penchant for treachery too often in the past. The government also raised the ire of its supposed allies with the offer of cash payments for 60 million people – double the number of the poor – in what was immediately denounced as a blatant bid to buy that many votes.
In such circumstances, the rationality of fuel price rises was thrown aside. Golkar Party and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) stabbed the government in the back and at the last minute announced that they would vote against the removal of the article on price rises, making it impossible for the rise to go through.
Negative outcome
Having displayed its political naiveté, the government is now faced with the fact that it has no allies, at least none that matter when the numbers are counted. Its one-time allies have stabbed it in the back and there is no reason why they will not do so again.
It now remains to be seen what will happen if the amount of subsidized fuel calculated in the budget revision bill is not enough to see the year through. Government money, meanwhile, will be pumped into the gas tanks of those who can afford to pay market prices.
Most seriously, the government has shown itself to be unable to operate as an active and constructive force that can pursue the best outcomes to take advantage of the enormous potential that exists for Indonesia's economy. From now on it will struggle to apply the worst form of short-termism in an attempt at simple survival.
There is rumbling of further attempts to undermine public confidence in the government, with the next two years now almost certainly given over to infighting and cheap point-scoring.
Almost inevitably, the economic nationalist line will be played out by every political party in attempts to look more 'red and white' than the next one, potentially hurting investment. Most importantly, attention will not be where it should be most focused – on the economy – but instead will be concentrated on a myopic and increasingly desperate search for political support.
