Publisher Comments:
America's most celebrated novelist, Nobel Prize-winner Toni Morrison extends her profound take on our history with this twentieth-century tale of redemption: a taut and tortured story about one man's desperate search for himself in a world disfigured by war.
Frank Money is an angry, self-loathing veteran of the Korean War who, after traumatic experiences on the front lines, finds himself back in racist America with more than just physical scars. His home may seem alien to him, but he is shocked out of his crippling apathy by the need to rescue his medically abused younger sister and take her back to the small Georgia town they come from and that he's hated all his life. As Frank revisits his memories from childhood and the war that have left him questioning his sense of self, he discovers a profound courage he had thought he could never possess again.
A deeply moving novel about an apparently defeated man finding his manhood — and his home.
"In Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winner Morrison's immaculate new novel (after A Mercy), Frank Money returns from the horrors of the Korean War to an America that's just as poor and just as racist as the country he fled. Frank's only remaining connection to home is his troubled younger sister, Cee, 'the first person ever took responsibility for,' but he doesn't know where she is. In the opening pages of the book, he receives a letter from a friend of Cee's stating, 'Come fast. She be dead if you tarry.' Thus begins his quest to save his sister — and to find peace in a town he loathed as a child: Lotus, Ga., the 'worst place in the world, worse than any battlefield.' Told in alternating third- and first-person narration, with Frank advising and, from time to time, correcting the person writing down his life story, the novel's opening scene describes horses mating, 'heir raised hooves crashing and striking, their manes tossing back from wild white eyes,' as one field over, the bodies of African-American men who were forced to fight to the death are buried: '...whatever you think and whatever you write down, know this: I really forgot about the burial. I only remembered the horses. They were so beautiful. So brutal.' Beautiful, brutal, as is Morrison's perfect prose. Agent: Amanda Urban, ICM."

"Nobel laureate Toni Morrison is known for novels in which female protagonists struggle to wrest control of their lives from an establishment bent on their destruction. Home, by contrast, tells the story of Korean War vet Frank Money, who returns from the battlefield plagued by visions of his friends' deaths and a disturbing episode that cuts at the roots of his sexual and moral identity....Salvation awaits, however, in his tiny Georgia hometown." Tim McDonnell, Mother Jones
"Home's slim spine belies a fertile narrative imbued with and embellished by Morrison's visionary scope and poetic majesty. These traits expand on her long exploration of the suffering and striving born of slavery and segregation that are unique to the history of blacks in America. Conjoined in all her stories and richly illumined are the culture, traditions, talents, and triumphs of African-Americans as well." Lisa Shea, Elle
"Profound...Morrison's portrayal of Frank is vivid and intimate, her portraits of the women in his life equally masterful. Its brevity, stark prose, and small cast of characters notwithstanding, this story of a man struggling to reclaim his roots and his manhood is enormously powerful." Stephan Lee, O, The Oprah Magazine
"A deceptively rich and cumulatively powerful novel." Kirkus (starred review)
"The Korean conflict is over, and soldier Frank Money has returned to the States with a disturbed psyche that sends him beyond anger into actually acting out his rage. From the mental ward in which he has been incarcerated for an incident he can't even remember, he determines he must escape. He needs to get to Atlanta to attend to his gravely ill sister and take her back to their Georgia hometown of Lotus, which, although Frank realizes a return there is necessary for his sister's sake, remains a detestable place in his mind. Morrison's taut, lacerating novel observes, through the struggles of Frank to move heaven and earth to reach and save his little sister, how a damaged man can gather the fortitude to clear his mind of war's horror and face his own part in that horror, leave the long-term anger he feels toward his hometown aside, and take responsibility for his own life as well as hers. With the economical presentation of a short story, the rhythms and cadences of a poem, and the total embrace and resonance of a novel, Morrison, one of our national literary treasures, continues to marshal her considerable talents to draw a deeply moving narrative and draw in a wide range of appreciative readers...bound to be a big hit." Brad Hooper, Booklist (starred review)
"Toni Morrison doesn't have to prove anything anymore, and there's artistic freedom in that calm. Her new novel, Home, is a surprisingly unpretentious story from America's only living Nobel laureate in literature....This scarily quiet tale packs all the thundering themes Morrison has explored before. She's never been more concise, though, and that restraint demonstrates the full range of her power....Despite all the old horrors that Morrison faces in these pages with weary recognition, Home is a daringly hopeful story about the possibility of healing — or at least surviving in a shadow of peace." Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"The title of [Morrison's] new novel, Home, refers to Frank Money's Georgia hometown, which lies at the end of a long, tortuous journey. Traumatized by atrocities in Korea and the Deep South of his childhood, Frank races back to save his sister from a sadistic white doctor. It's an archetypal postwar homecoming story, reminiscent of The Odyssey. But it's really about the upheavals that took Frank away from home in the first place, along with a generation of Korean War veterans and southern black migrants, during a supposedly tranquil and homey decade that was, for them, anything but." Boris Kachka, New York Magazine
"Gorgeous and intense, brutal yet heartwarming...like a slingshot that wields the impact of a missile....Home is as accessible, tightly composed and visceral as anything Morrison has written....[Her] shorter, more direct sentences have the capacity to leave a reader awestruck....Devastating, deeply humane, ever-relevant." Heller McAlpin, NPR
"The story of the warrior's struggle to return home is classic, but Nobel laureate Morrison imbues her tale with twists that make the journey more challenging and Frank Money's success less certain....As usual, Morrison's writing is both lyrical and earthy and, although spare, dense with hints and meaning. This is a book that can be read in one long sitting, and probably will be....[A] satisfying, emotional...textured, painful and ultimately uplifting story." Anne Neville, Buffalo News
"In this slim, scathing novel, Morrison brings us another quintessentially American character struggling through another shameful moment in our nation's history....Home is as much prose poem as long-form fiction — a triumph for a beloved literary icon who proves that her talents remain in full flower. Four stars." People
"Beautifully wrought...[Home] packs considerable power, because the Nobel Prize-winning author is still writing unflinchingly about the most painful human experiences. There's nothing small about the story she's told with such grace in these pages." The Oregonian
"Short, swift, and luminescent....The music of Morrison's language, with its poetic oral qualities, its ability to be both past and present in one long line, requires a robust structure, a big space; a small auditorium simply does not suit it. Home, then, is...a remarkable thing: proof that Morrison is at once America's most deliberate and flexible writer. She has almost entirely retooled her style to tell a story that demands speed, brevity, the threat of a looming curtain call." The Boston Globe
"Part of Morrison's longstanding greatness resides in her ability to animate specific stories about the black experience and simultaneously speak to all experience. It's precisely by committing unreservedly to the first that she's able to transcend the circumscribed audience it might imply. This work's accomplishment lies in its considerable capacity to make us feel that we are each not only resident but co-owner of, and collectively accountable for, this land we call home." The New York Times Book Review
"Powerful...Home, the latest novel by Toni Morrison, is almost eerie in its timeliness. Set in the 1950s, it does not evoke the martini and pinched waist nostalgia of Mad Men. Rather, it calls to mind the plight of today's veterans returning from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars....A hallmark of Morrison's magic is the way that her imagination engages critically with several subjects simultaneously, but Home is particularly intriguing because it also seems to be a reflection on the author's previous works....In addition to her reputation for gorgeous sentences, Morrison is known for a certain brutality in her plotting, and this wrenching novel is no exception. But Home also brims with affection and optimism." San Francisco Chronicle
"Morrison writes without airs. In Home, even the most painful and devastating moments are told head-on, not prettified to make them more palatable [or] heightened to create a stronger impression. She builds trust with the reader at every step; the events may be imagined, but Morrison is speaking her truth, and we believe her. Here, as in her previous books, Morrison's characters carry their histories heavy on their backs, a burden that defines them and influences everything they do today. The past, she says repeatedly, is always with us. It can't be ignored or shunted aside because to be truly home in the present, we must confront the past." The Miami Herald
"[Home] is compact, a novella really, and filled with Morrison's signature style — clear, razor-sharp, poetic writing and layered storytelling....This story isn't about taking responsibility for others. It is a tale about taking responsibility for yourself....The journey home, then, is not to a physical place. It is an internal destination that each of us must find." The Dallas Morning News
"If you are familiar with Toni Morrison's work (who isn't?), you will want to read her new novella, Home, in one sitting. It will take only two or three hours, and that one sitting will help you keep in mind the story's beautiful symmetry....Home is an engaging narrative, full of surprises and profundities." Counterpunch
"This haunting, slender novel is a kind of tiny Rosetta Stone to Toni Morrison's entire oeuvre. Home encapsulates all the themes that have fueled her fiction: ...the hold that time past exerts over time present, the hazards of love (and its link to leaving and loss), the possibility of redemption and transcendence. Once again we are introduced to characters who must choose between the suffocating but sustaining ethos of small-town life and the temptations and pitfalls of the wider world. Once again we are made to see the costs and consolations of caring too much — for a family member, a lover or a friend. . . . Whereas Beloved mythologized its characters' stories, lending their experiences the resonance of a symphony or an opera, Home is a lower-key chamber piece, pitched somewhere between straight-up naturalism and the world of fable....Morrison has found a new, angular voice and straight-ahead storytelling style that showcase her knowledge of her characters, and the ways in which violence and passion and regret are braided through their lives, the ways in which love and duty can redeem a blighted past." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Another dazzling journey with Toni Morrison as tour guide into America's slippery psychological, cultural and political terrain. In Home, Morrison has given us another triumph of beauty and brutality both in tone, language, and characters. Like her slim volumes The Bluest Eye, Sula, and Jazz, the Nobel Laureate's tenth offering reminds you of riveting tales told by a wise stranger — not kinfolk, not on any official business — that remain with you for days — sometimes longer....Morrison proves there is no writer who can craft, shape, twist, and bend the English language quite like she can....Home calmly lays out the horrors of war, abroad and domestic, with the understanding that peace is sometimes negotiable." Essence magazine
Named one of Time magazine's most influential leaders of her generation, celebrated writer Rebecca Walker delivers her stunning debut noveland#8212;a heartbreaking, unforgettable love story in the tradition of Julian Barnes's The Sense of an Ending and Marguerite Duras's The Lover.
In this stunning debut novella, Rebecca Walker turns her attention to the power of love and the limitations of the human heart. When Farida, a sophisticated college student, falls in love with Adand#233;, a young Swahili man living on an idyllic island off the coast of Kenya, the two plan to marry and envision a simple life togetherand#8212;free of worldly possessions and concerns. But when Farida contracts malaria and finds herself caught in the middle of a civil war, reality crashes in around them. The loversand#8217; solitude is interrupted by a world in the throes of massive upheaval that threatens to tear them apart, along with all they cherish.
Haunting, exquisite, and certain to become a classic, Adand#233; will stay with you long after you put it down. This is a timeless love story set perfectly, heartbreakingly, in our time.

If he's batting leadoff that puts McLouth 3rd and Davis #6 or #7 and improves the lineup dramatically. You know he wouldn't be pressing like a few Orioles have been and he would be calm, cool, and would wait for his pitch just like he has his entire career.
I was as hard on him as anyone over the last 2 years but I think it is obvious that if he doesn't get hurt this series would already be over.

Frozen dishes: The best options
It gets no respect, frozen food, but your grocer's freezer is a culinary treasure trove. And I'm going to prove it to you. Over the past few weeks I've trolled the freezer aisles in markets all over the area to come up with a list of frozen dishes that are just plain delicious.
No complete meals here. I found that when a microwaveable tray contained more than one item, neither flourished in the reheating (exception: Indian entrees featuring a stew and rice). I also found that specialty grocers have the most interesting frozen offerings. Supermarket freezer cases tend to be dominated by the big national brands, few of whose wares impressed me. Invariably these products are long on salt, sugar and unpronounceable ingredients, short on the flavor and texture of real, wholesome food.
Most of these products are reheatable in the microwave, but in a few cases they require an oven or even a skillet. The key to fooling friends and family into thinking that you labored over a hot stove is to transfer the reheated food into a pretty dish, add a little parsley and hide the empty box. --ERICA MARCUS, email@example.com

Rayonier Forest Resources has sold 130,659 acres in St. Lawrence, Clinton, Franklin and Lewis counties to a client of Molpus Woodlands Group for $57.5 million.
The previous owner has done a good job of management in a sustainable manner, Molpus general counsel Michael D. Cooper said. Its business as usual to the local community. What they saw previously will continue.
Much of the land sold was in the St. Lawrence County towns of Piercefield, Clare, Pierrepont and Colton. The land in St. Lawrence County was purchased by MWF Adirondacks Limited Liability Corp. for $47.3 million. The property is almost entirely within the Adirondack Park and is certified under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative.
Molpus, Jackson, Miss., already had an office in Saranac Lake to oversee the management of 30,000 acres previously purchased in the area.
Despite the price paid, affected towns will not see a windfall from mortgage taxes because they were not secured to finance the purchase, according to records filed with the St. Lawrence County Clerks Office.
The state has conservation easements on much of the land, protecting it from development but allowing logging, fishing, hiking and other recreational use.
An easement purchased by the state in 2006 gave the public access to more than 26 miles of the Middle and North branches of the Grasse River corridor along a 200-foot buffer on both banks of the river. That agreement also gave the state public fishing rights on about 16 miles of Grasse River tributaries, including Gulf Brook, Alder Brook, Bear Creek, Pleasant Lake and Stony Brook, along with use of existing snowmobile trails.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation was not aware of the sale until it was nearly done, said Michael J. Contino, real property supervisor.
Once we buy an easement, our job is done, he said. By us owning the conservation easements, we help them pay the taxes.
Rayonier officials told Piercefield Supervisor Neil W. Pickering they wanted to focus on their timber holdings in the south and the west.
They were just getting out of this area, Mr. Pickering said. We wont see a change in the way its managed. Rayonier really did a good job.
MWF Adirondacks was looking at timberland as a long-term safe investment with low volatility, Mr. Cooper said.

booked into jail for fleeing the scene of a crash with injury and possession of
drugs and paraphernalia. Two additional charges are being considered in the

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — With first-quarter earnings season nearing its end, we're finally getting to see which of the newly public Internet companies can turn a profit, and which are still trying to figure out how.
Now that Yelp Inc. YELP, -1.10% and Zillow Inc. Z, -1.09% have reported earnings, and with each worth a little more than $1 billion in market capitalization, it's a good time to compare what they're offering to tech investors for that valuation.
Facebook IPO a reality check
Facebook priced its deal at the low to middle range of expectations. While the company's value has obvious significance for investors, they aren't the only people interested in what it is really worth. Steve Rosenbush reports. (Photo: Reuters)
If you're considering buying shares of either firm, pay attention to the post-earnings momentum trades, which saw investors buying Zillow and selling Yelp, both on heavy volume.
After Yelp's shares dropped nearly 11% on earnings news, the online-review site sported a market cap of $1.23 billion. Zillow, the real-estate listings company, got to its current valuation of $1.16 billion with its shares rising 12% on its first-quarter report.
Both are among a group of companies — including Zynga Inc. ZNGA, +0.00% Groupon Inc. GRPN, -2.39% and Pandora Media Inc. P, +0.59% — that went public last year to much fanfare. With some variation, all are trying to make their money the same way: selling online advertising. But turning those sales into profit has proved difficult for the group as a whole.
San Francisco-based Yelp reported results that look similar to those of other recent Internet IPOs that have been posting losses on soaring expenses.
Although Yelp's revenue rose 66% to $27.4 million, the company said its quarterly loss widened to $9.8 million, or 31 cents a share, from $2.8 million or 19 cents a share from a year earlier.
Its average number of unique monthly users rose 53% from a year ago to 71 million, while the number of "active local business accounts" on Yelp more than doubled to 27,300.
But so what? Yelp's costs rose even faster, surging 92%. If it can't turn a profit while the top line and a key metric are surging, when will Yelp become profitable?
The company forecast second quarter revenue between $29 million and $31 million, implying sequential revenue growth of between roughly 6% and 10%. It pegged full-year revenue between $128 million and $132 million, implying annual growth between 44% and 59% — higher than analysts expected.
Yet that wasn't enough to prompt traders to buy the stock.
Yelp priced its IPO shares at $15 in early March, only to see them surge 64%.
While the company's recent slide might prompt some buyers looking for a bounce, I think it's better to wait for more of the air to come out of the share price, which has been helped by a thin IPO float and the general hysteria for tech offerings.

CUMBERLAND — Ask any of the girls' coaches about who would win Tuesday's Northern Division showdown between host Cumberland High and unbeaten squads Woonsocket and Central Falls and the response was the same.
They simply didn't have a clue.
"This is going to be a close meet," said Woonsocket coach Dan Richard midway into the competition. "I thought before the meet, plus or minus five points between all three schools."
"Right now, looking at the score, it can be any school," added CHS coach Chris Fernandes, just a few minutes after Richard's assessment. "It's about as close a meet as I expected. It could come down to the last two events."
After four-plus hours under a hot sun at Tucker Field, Woonsocket prevailed against its talented rivals, defeating Cumberland, 83-71, and C.F. by a deceiving 97-62 verdict.
In the closer affair against the Clippers, the turning point for the Villa Novans came in the triple jump, one of the last events of the meet. Sophomore Kaylnn Pitts led a 1-2-3 sweep with an outstanding distance of 35 feet, 5 ½ inches.
"The meet was just as we thought it would be," said Richard, whose squad upped its league mark to 6-0. Cumberland and C.F. stand at 5-2. "I am excited about the results. We were fortunate to come out on top."
Pitts was a big reason that the Villa Novans were able to pull out the all-important double-victory. For the afternoon, she captured four events. The defending outdoor titlist in the high jump won that event by clearing 5-2.
She also copped the long jump with a distance of 15-8½ and broke the tape in the 200-meter dash with a fast clocking of 27.1 seconds.
The most impressive performance from Pitts came in the triple jump, where she soared to one of the top distances in the state in her first year competing in the event.
At last year's state meet, Smithfield's Kim Ezeama won the event with a 36-8 effort.
"I think she can get into 36 (feet) this year," Richard said. "She is just learning the event. She has the speed, the spring and the carriage for it with her long legs."
The Villa Novans' Jordan Lopes also had quite the afternoon. She won the 400 with a time of 64.3 and also ran the anchor leg for her team's first-place 4x400 squad that was timed in 4:25.7. Lopes ran her split in 64.2.
"All my captains stepped up," said Richard, while also making note of three personal best achieved by Sam Plante in the triple jump, long jump and her leg on the 4x400 squad. "That's what you expect from captains."
Central Falls sophomore Tiffany Jenkins earned gold in two events. Jenkins took the hammer with a throw of 131-7 and was first in the discus at 116-0.
Senior Lauren Lapierre of Cumberland claimed both distance events, placing first in the 1,500 (5:25) and the 3,000 (12:04).
In the boys' meet, unbeaten Cumberland swept its rivals, defeating Woonsocket, 85-68, and Central Falls, 98-54.The Clippers improved to 6-0 for the season.
"We just had a lot of good performances," said CHS coach Tom Kenwood. "Everywhere, we did well. We had some good performances in the distance events and the throws as well."
Cumberland had just six winners among the 18 events, but its depth proved to be instrumental in the outcome. The Clippers had the top three finishers overall in three events (1,500, javelin, pole vault) and multiple placements in nine different events.
The Clippers' Colin Cabral was a double-winner, taking the shot put with a heave of 38-4 and the javelin with a toss of 126-6.
In the 1,500, junior Matt Sutcliffe turned a close race at the half-mile mark into a runaway victory, winning with a personal-best time of 4:23.1. Sutcliffe hit the 400 checkpoint in 1:07 and was 2:17 at the 800. Later in the meet, he placed second in the 3,000 with a time of 9:57.2, an event won by sophomore teammate Trevor Crawley in 9:50.3.
"It's a PR by about a second and a half," said Sutcliffe, referring to his 1,500 time. "I knew I was running the 3,000 so I was using it more as a workout, but my coach wanted me to really focus on running a good time for the 1,500."
Sutcliffe held a few-stride lead over teammate and eventual second-place finisher Alec Bassett (4:29.5) at the 800. He took command from that point and had a roughly four-second cushion at 1,200 (3:29).
"After the 1,200 I lost a few seconds," he said. "I think if someone would have been near me, it would have helped."
Cumberland's Chris Daurte claimed the individual title in the 110 hurdles with a solid time of 16.3. The Clippers' Jack Covino won the hammer convincingly with a toss of 151-2. Teammate Brian Hamann was second at 143-11.
The Villa Novans had multiple-winning performances from Jalen Evans and Jessie Charette. The tandem both ran legs on the school's victorious 4x100 relay squad (44.6), which also included Alex Correia and Tyler Bourk. Evans also took the 100 at 11.6 and the 200 in 23.5, while Charette placed first in the triple jump with a leap of 43-10 and the long jump at 20- ½. Charette also finished second to Central Falls junior Steven Vazquez in the high jump with a height of 6-0.
Vazquez won his specialty with a leap of 6-2 and also blazed to a time of 53.8 to capture the 400.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Football team had a tough time getting anything going against a multi-talented Illinois College squad on Saturday at Strong Stadium on the way to a 37-7 loss.
The Buccaneer defense shut down the Blueboys' first two drives but IC broke through with 5:20 left in the opening quarter for the first score of the game. They added a second TD late in the period to lead 14-0 after one. Two touchdowns and a safety in the second quarter made it a 30-0 game at the break.
Neither team scored in the third quarter before each added a TD in the final stanza. After Illinois College made it 37-0 with 4:45 left the Bucs got on the board when Lukeson Versulien, who got the drive going with a 40-yard kickoff return, took an end-around eight yards for a TD with 3:04 left to complete a six-play, 47-yard drive. IC then ran out the remaining time for the win.
The Blueboys won the yardage battle 580-126. Mason Dixon had 65 yards rushing on 15 carries while Kam Sallee threw for 62 yards. Jake Lackovic caught a pair of passes for 52 yards, including a key 17-yard grab during Beloit's TD drive.
On defense David Lafayette and Riley Pearson each finished with ten tackles while Jake Fisher had nine. Derell Carter had the lone sack of the game for a loss of six yards. Carter also recovered a fumble.
The Buccaneers now hit the road for two Saturdays, beginning next weekend at Ripon College. Kickoff is at 1:00 p.m.

Some might argue that the most important concession equipment parts are the scrumptious edibles you'll be cooking and serving up. While we can't argue this logic, we're also of the mindset that the little components keeping that equipment running can be pretty important too, which is why it's essential to make sure all of yours are working properly and in good shape. Sometimes, making a repair or replacing a faulty piece is in order, and stocking up on a few extras when you get the chance, never hurts. Find the concession equipment parts you're looking for by browsing around below.

The Orioles have been talking to Korean Pitcher Chong Tae-Hyon, according to Danny Knobler of CBS Sports. Tae-Hyon is a submarine-type pitcher who pitched in the World Baseball Classic in 2009.
It is rumored that he has signed for a 2 year, $3.2 million dollar contract, according to MyKBO.net. Tae-Hyun is the first Korean player to go directly to the MLB if the signing is true, according to MyKBO.net.
Brief scouting report from Don: Submarine style pitcher in the Clay Rapada mold. Sinking fastball is staple pitch, extreme ground ball pitcher. He is not over-powering, but the arm angle and movement keeps him effective.

King Hall
Optimum efficiency is the only thing that can prevent utter chaos when more than 4,000 people sit down at one time for dinner at 372 tables spread over a 55,000- square-foot area. Hot meals are served to all within five minutes, reflecting the efficiency that exists in King Hall, the midshipman dining hall at the United States Naval Academy. Statistics of the operation are impressive, from the capacity of automated food preparation equipment in the galley to the washing room which handles more than 40,000 pieces of silver, dishes and glassware for an average meal.
The staff in the academy's Midshipmen Food Service Division plan, prepare and serve more than 13,500 meals per day. To accomplish their tasks, they use automated food preparation equipment that handles large quantities of food.
Food Preparation
Food preparation equipment includes two conveyor belt-fed, deep-fat fryers, that, together, can cook a ton of fried shrimp in an hour; two gas-flame broilers, also operated by a conveyor belt, that churn out 3,000 hamburgers per hour; two rotary ovens that can hold 80 roasting pans and cook 320 12- to 16-pound turkeys at a time; and six steam-jacketed kettles that can heat 750 gallons of soup.
Twenty mobile serving carts, one for every 20 tables, maintain the trays of prepared food at 140 degrees until serving time.
The academy's food service program may be operated on a large scale, but it does so with remarkable efficiency and high standards. There is a concerted effort to keep the food from becoming "institutional." Nutrition, the attractiveness of presentation, the variety of menu items and the quality of food preparation and service are paramount concerns.
The nutritionally balanced, daily diet approximates 3,500 - 4,000 calories per midshipman at a government-authorized individual ration allowance of about $4.75 a day. All meat is U.S. Choice; vegetables are Grade A Fancy; and dairy products, including 4,000 quarts of fresh milk, arrive each day.
In a typical day, the midshipmen menu might include more than 1,000 gallons of milk, two tons of meat, a ton of green vegetables, two tons of potatoes, 1,200 loaves of bread, 720 pies, and perhaps 300 gallons of homemade Naval Academy ice cream.
Typical Daily Menu
A daily menu might look something like this:
Breakfast - The morning meal features cheese omelets, broiled bacon and home-fried potatoes, hot cereal during the winter months, fresh fruit, more than eight varieties of ready-to-eat cereal, and freshly baked donuts, pastries or bagels. Steaming hot coffee and hot chocolate are also available. Each table is preset with milk, orange juice and all the necessary condiments.
Lunch - Lunch usually consists of sandwich-type entrees. The freshly made dessert is usually preset on the table along with milk, salad, bread, crackers and condiments. A hot soup is also preset in winter months. Just in case a midshipman dislikes the main entree, creamy and crunchy peanut butter and jelly are always available on each table.
Buffet Dinner - The evening meal is similar to lunch, but the main entree of chicken, beef or fish will be accompanied by a vegetable and potato or rice dish.
The midshipmen's favorite menu items include chicken tenderloins, chili con carne, individual pan pizza and hamburgers. Each year, King Hall continues to provide quality food and superior service to the Brigade of Midshipmen.
King Hall is named in honor of Admiral Ernest J. King.

m.a. administration studies (nexm)
The Faculty envisions the Executive Program for Nurses with specializations in Administration and Professorial Studies as preparing leaders for roles in healthcare organizations--both service and education. These roles are defined as those that advance, implement, and manage the practice of nursing and healthcare without primarily operating in one-to-one relationships with students or clients. Hence, the graduates of this program will have their major impact on nursing and healthcare by influencing other interdisciplinary healthcare providers and learners. All role preparation in the Department of Organization and Leadership, Executive Program for Nurses, is based upon an approach of open inquiry, scholarly pursuit, and the ability to synthesize knowledge from diverse disciplines.
Program Objectives - Master of Arts Degree
- Evaluates the contribution of knowledge from related fields to the development of nursing science.
- Engages in the application and evaluation of nursing theory to education and practice.
- Uses both inductive and deductive strategies in examining the relevance of nursing science to nursing practice and education.
- Formulates nursing research questions from practice situations.
- Derives propositions from nursing theory for systematic investigation in education and practice.
- Evaluates nursing research findings to advance nursing practice and education.
- Applies knowledge from related disciplines in the area of role concentration.
- Analyzes nursing issues in historical, political, social, and economic contexts.
- Develops plan for translating knowledge acquired in program into future practice.

Rangers Reach Agreement with Brandon Webb
According to Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse, the Rangers have reached an agreement to sign RHP Brandon Webb.
From what I understand, the Mets viewed Brandon Webb as a riskier alternative to Jeff Francis or Chris Young, and he was likely to be seeking more money than Francis or Young.
Not that Young and Francis aren't risky propositions themselves…
Webb has not pitched since Opening Day in 2009 after suffering a shoulder injury, but finished in the top three in Cy Young voting with the Diamondbacks from 2006-2008, and was the winner in 2006.
He just completed the fifth year option year in a four year, $19.5 million contract he signed with the Diamondbacks in January, 2006.

LE ROY, N.Y. -- You may have heard that Le Roy is birthplace to a famous dessert, but there's much more to the small Genesee County town.
JELL-O was created in Le Roy in 1897, and the original inventor sold the rights for just $450. It was eventually moved out of Le Roy about 50 years ago, but the history remains.
2 On Your Side's Michael Wooten toured the JELL-O Gallery with Curator Lynne Belluscio. You can see the full story in the video player.
In the basement of the JELL-O Gallery, you'll find a transportation museum. And there's history in the making at the gallery. It's now the starting point of a barn quilt tour.
It started out as an idea to celebrate the town for its bicentennial last year. Organizers, including Lynne, hoped to have a couple dozen barns with the wooden quilts; they had 70. Now there are well over 100.
You can pick up a free self-tour brochure at the JELL-O Gallery and find more information on the group's website.
It's open 7 days a week from April through December. Hours at 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Monday - Saturday and then 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. on Sundays.
Admission is only $4.50 for adults and $1.50 for children 6-11.
You can find out much more information on the gallery's website.

Grand Canyon Caverns located on the Coconino Plateau,
the Caverns lie within an alluvial plain at an altitude of about 5,300 feet (1,600 m) above sea level. Limestone comprises the vast majority of the subsurface area of this vicinity of the Coconino Plateau, an area riddled with numerous cavernous veins that run for miles in all directions.
Just 66 miles West of Williams ,AZ on Route 66, the Caverns lie 230 feet (70 m) below ground level. They are among the largest of dry caverns in the United States. Dry caverns are a rarity in that as little as 3% of caverns in the world are dry. Because of this fact, stalagmites and stalactites are very few in numbers. The caverns are enormous, with measurements showing that the length of 3 football fields could fit snugly within its boundaries.
345 million years ago, during the Mississippian Period, the southwest United States was enveloped by the ocean. Sea creatures died over the millions of years, their skeletons created a mud-like paste with a dense amount of lime. This eventually hardened into the limestone bedrock, which can be seen in the caverns today. As millions of years came and went, the bedrock was pushed up, to over 5,000 feet (1,500 m) above sea level. These methodical events split the crust of the Earth, releasing water into what is now the caverns.
Approximately 35 million years ago, huge amounts of rainfall carrying a mildly acidic element flowed into the caverns. This solution eventually crept its way through the cracks and caves ultimately contributing to the Colorado River. Millions of years later the evaporating water leaving calcium deposits began decorating the walls and floors, creating wondrous and beautiful formations that can still be viewed by the public today.
Contemporary History
In 1927, Walter Peck, a cowboy and woodcutter, was walking through the area on his way to play poker with his friends. when he stumbled and nearly fell into a sizable hole in the ground. The following morning, Peck, and some of his friends returned to the location of the large, funnel shaped hole with lanterns and ropes. Peck was lowered into the hole by his friends with a rope tied around his waist to a depth of 150 feet (46 m) with a lantern and began exploring.
A very large, dark cavern welcomed Peck during his initial exploration where he saw some speckles on the walls that he thought were gold. He gathered up samples of some of these shiny rocks and had his friends pull him back to the surface. Peck then purchased the property and began making preparations for a gold mining operation. Once the assay reports were completed he learned that his potential mother lode was nothing more than iron oxide.
Not one to give up on entrepreneurial opportunities, Peck came up with an idea to lure travelers to the Caverns and began charging 25 cents to lower these early spelunkers down into the Caverns to explore and to view what had been reported in newspapers to be the remains of a caveman that had earlier been located on a ledge. Although the 'caveman' had also lured scientist from the east to study the remains, it was later confirmed in the 1960s to be the remains of two inhabitants of the area. These inhabitants had been in the area barely a decade earlier during the winter of 1917-1918, when a group of Indians were harvesting and cutting firewood on the caverns hilltop and a snow storm trapped them for three days. Two brothers died from a flu epidemic and since the ground was frozen solid with deep snow cover, their fellow lumberjacks buried them in what they thought was only a 50-foot (15 m) hole because returning them to their tribal headquarters in Peach Springs, risked spreading the flu.
An entrance was built into the Caverns by blasting a 210-foot (64 m) shaft in the limestone and installing a large elevator at which time the natural entrance was also sealed off at the request of the Hualapai as it was considered a sacred burial place. Near the natural entrance, the skeletal remains of a giant and extinct ground sloth were found; it lived during the Age of Mammals when the Woolly Mammoth and Saber Tooth Cat lived more than 11,000 years ago. The study of the remains indicate it stood over 15 feet (4.6 m) tall and weighed near 2,000 pounds.
In 1962, the Caverns were renamed, Grand Canyon Caverns, with good reason, as it is connected to the Grand Canyon to the north. They are an Historic Route 66 roadside tourist attraction that has survived into the current century with nearly 100,000 tourists annually.
Grand Canyon Caverns is the largest dry caverns in the United States and maybe the largest dry cavern system on earth as they are still being explored and documented by both amateur and professional spelunkers, archaeologists, geologists and other varieties of scientists. At a constant 57 degrees with only a 2 percent humidity year round the Caverns are an ideal preservatory. Air comes into the caverns from the Grand Canyon through 60 miles (97 km) of limestone caves. (See picture of opening at end of article). Scientists were curious as to how far the caverns extended and looked for a safe means of finding out. Rather than explore the canyons, which could take years, red smoke flares were ignited by University of Arizona students, and two weeks later red smoke was seen protruding from vents, near Supai, AZ, in the Grand Canyon, thus the name.
Spelunkers and tourists alike can take a 45-minute, guided, walking tour of the Caverns beginning with a 21-story, or 210-foot (64 m) descent from the earth's surface in a large elevator, or a shorter 25-minute wheelchair accessible tour. The more hardcore and professional spelunkers can explore on their own, with the proper permission of course, areas that are never seen by the ordinary tours.
The first cavern that one enters after their descent by elevator is the Chapel of the Ages cavern room which is so large it could hold up to two football fields. There have been numerous weddings performed in this room throughout the years. The most popular guided walking tour is about 3/4 of a mile long through winding, natural tunnels where guests will see helecite crystals, a rather rare form of selenite, red-wall limestone, 'teacup handles', 'winter crystals' and more. The Caverns are a popular natural feature of this vast recreational area in Northern Arizona.

This week, SPUR and the Yerba Buena Community Benefit District will close Annie Alley to car traffic and host a series of outdoor public events. What is it about an alley that inspires urban invention? As we kick off our week of investigation, we pause to reflect on the humble alley and its role in the city.
How would you improve the transit system for neighborhoods in the northeast part of San Francisco? This was the key question SPUR asked at a transit planning workshop for the city's northeast neighborhoods last month. The workshop brought together representatives from key public agencies, North Beach and Fisherman's Wharf businesses, the tourism industry and neighborhood advocacy groups, as well as transportation professionals.
Over the last year, there's been palpable buzz in San Francisco around eco-districts — sustainability plans that operate at the neighborhood scale. After studying models in Portland, Seattle, Brooklyn and Denver, the city has kicked off a planning process for its first eco-district. The project will target the Central Corridor, the 24-square-block area south of Market Street currently undergoing a neighborhood planning and rezoning process.
SPUR has written several times about the development of Plan Bay Area since the planning process was kicked off a few years ago. Last month, the draft of the plan was finally released. What are the highlights in this 158-page plan and the accompanying 1,300-page environmental impact report? This post provides a summary of the draft and some of its key points.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee has selected SPUR Executive Director Gabriel Metcalf to co-chair his 2030 Transportation Task Force. Like other task forces the mayor has convened, this one will tackle a seemingly intractable problem: transportation funding.
Last Thursday, on the 107th anniversary of the 1906 Earthquake, SF Mayor Ed Lee signed the mandatory soft-story retrofit program into law. SPUR has long advocated for this legislation, which will help make San Francisco more resilient in a major earthquake.
Of the many food and agriculture bills California legislators have introduced this year, three stand out for their potential impact on the Bay Area's food system: a tax incentive to promote the use of private land for urban agriculture; a change to CEQA to require agricultural land preservation for certain projects; and a statewide sugary-beverage tax. Here's a closer look at these bills, which we will be tracking this year.
Ted Egan was honored at SPUR's 33rd annual Good Government Awards for being a key player in the effort to reform the payroll tax system in San Francisco.

Could the Caltrain station and railyards at 4th and King streets be San Francisco's next big planning opportunity? The right type of development here could knit toogether the surrounding neighborhoods, capitalize on the extensive transit access — and even help pay for important transportation projects. We explore three scenarios for the site.
The array of food grown within a couple of hours of San Francisco makes our region truly unique. Along with an astounding amount of agricultural diversity, the Bay Area's farms and ranches employ a wide range of business models. This is an asset to their economic vibrancy, but it also means there are few "one size fits all" policy recommendations to support regional agriculture.
The Bay Area economy has rebounded from the recession. Yet major regional challenges threaten our continued prosperity. At the 2013 State of Silicon Valley conference, SPUR made the case that some of the biggest threats to the Bay Area's long-term economic competitiveness are challenges best addressed through better regional governance.
The crowd of a few dozen people that spilled off the sidewalk at Lee's Market on an overcast morning had gathered to celebrate. The occasion: the grand re-opening of the corner store with new offerings of fresh fruit, vegetables and an expanded selection of healthy grocery items.
2012 was a big year for SPUR and for the urbanist agenda. Years of work culminated in dramatic victories on the November ballot: San Francisco voters created a Housing Trust Fund, passed a parks bond and reformed the business tax.
Ever since the SPUR Urban Center opened in 2009, our bike-riding members have asked, "If SPUR supports cycling, why don't you have bike racks?" It's a long story, and it finally came to a close in December when the Yerba Buena Community Benefit District (YBCBD) unveiled the first of a new fleet of bike racks in the Yerba Buena district.
In November, BART released conceptual plans for a multi-billion dollar rejuvenation that would introduce a new wave of service called BART Metro. BART expects vast ridership expansion in the next several years, and these changes would allow 50 percent growth by 2025.

The charges alllege that the balloons confiscated in the arrest contain heroin intended for sale.
A 22-year old Helper man was arrested and a quantity of suspected heroin seized Friday after a traffic stop in Helper. Helper Police Chief Trent Anderson identified the suspect as Christopher Hooper.
City police worked in cooperation with the Carbon Metro Drug Task Force and Utah Adult Probation and Parole in the arrest.
Anderson said the suspect had been under investigation for several weeks.
When Hooper was stopped for traffic violations, he was found to be "transporting a fairly large amount of heroin that was packaged for sale," according to Anderson.
Hooper was taken into custody and booked into the Carbon County Jail for Possession of Heroin with Intent to Distribute, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Unsafe Lane Travel and a "72 Hour Hold," placed by AP&P.
"This investigation is ongoing and more arrests are expected to come," the chief stated.

By Joseph Spector
Albany Bureau Chief
ALBANY, NY ---The state Rifle & Pistol Association filed a lawsuit Thursday against New York's gun-control law, saying it violates the Second Amendment.
The Rifle & Pistol Association is the state's arm of the National Rifle Association, and it has protested the law passed Jan. 15 by the state Legislature and signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Buffalo.
"The National Rifle Association is committed to defending the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding New Yorkers," Chris Cox, executive director of NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, said in a statement. "Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York state Legislature usurped the legislative and democratic process in passing these extreme anti-gun measures with no committee hearings and no public input."
The lawsuit is the second against the NY-SAFE Act, which is considered the toughest gun-control law in the nation. The group filed a notice of claim Jan. 29 in state Supreme Court in Albany that it intended to sue, calling the law unconstitutional.
The lawsuit said that an assault-weapons ban infringes on people's right to bear arms.
"This is an action to vindicate the right of the people of the State of New York to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits infringement of the right of law-abiding citizens to keep commonly-possessed firearms in the home for defense of self and family and for other lawful purposes," the lawsuit Thursday said.
Companies and groups that are plaintiffs in the case include the Westchester County Firearms Owners Association; Beikrich Ammunition Corp., based in East Rochester, Monroe County; and Blueline Tactical & Police Supply LLC, based in Elmsford, Westchester County.
Other plaintiffs include two Monroe County residents, Assemblyman Bill Nojay, R-Pittsford, and Thomas Galvin of Rochester, and Roger Horvath, of Mahopac, Putnam County, who is paralyzed. The lawsuit claims that Horvath's ability to use a gun to protect himself would be impeded under the new law, which lowers the maximum number of bullets allowable in a magazine from 10 to seven.
"The act's provisions on magazines put law-abiding citizens at a grave disadvantage to criminals, who will not comply with the seven-round limit," the lawsuit said.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said the law is constitutional. He is defending the state in the lawsuit.
"The SAFE Act is a comprehensive law that is making New York communities safer, while ensuring constitutional protections to responsible gun owners," Schneiderman said in a statement. "My office will continue to aggressively defend the protections embodied in the law because every New Yorker deserves to live in a safe neighborhood free from the threat of gun violence."
Another gun-rights group filed a lawsuit against the measure in February, and a state judge tossed the suit earlier this month, saying that previous high court decisions prevented the judiciary from intervening in the legislative process. The group is appealing, and arguments are set to be heard Friday.
Cuomo and legislative leaders indicated this week that they plan to make some corrections to the law, which was passed just hours after the bill was printed. One of the expected changes is to allow manufacturers to sell magazines with 10 bullets, but only to allow gun owners to load seven bullets unless it's for a sanctioned competition.
Seven-bullet magazines are not sold, so lawmakers said the change is needed. They are also expected to exempt police and film productions from an assault-weapons ban.

Tim Teufel could be fired as manager in Caracas
Raul Lopez covers the Venezuelan winter league for MLB.com.
Los Leones de Caracas has lost seven of their last 11 games, although they are 11-11 on the season and just four games out of first place in the Venezuelan winter league.
Last month, Josh Satin left Los Leones and came back to the United States after struggling to a .146 average with two home runs and three RBI. He hit a combined .323 with 12 home runs and 76 RBI between Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Buffalo in 2011 and was named the Mets Minor League Player of the Year in 2011.
